Over the years quite a lot of players have come here for their last payday.
Who would you give the accolade or the wooden spoon to?
In other words, nominate your best success and your idea of the worst failure. Only one of each.
I'll go first and take the easy way, and probably the most popular way out.
King Kevan Keegan, head and shoulders above the rest and for the biggest failure, Sol Campbell.
100% my choices.Quote:

I would have nominated Pedro too had KK not been here.Quote:

Kenny Sansome, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Sol Campbell
