Your Clubs Greatest Servant ?

Who is the greatest servant the club you support has ever had ?

For me, it is Peter Beardsley , Newcastle United 1983-87 and 1993-97.

The Youtube link shows many of his greatest goals in a black and white shirt and his early days are the times when my dad started taking me to the match. Great memories.

Look at 3 minutes and 16 seconds. It is the best goal I ever saw at St James's Park.

Keane. Legend and the greatest midfielder of my generation.

Simon Garner, Blackburn Rovers 1978-1992, 484 league appearances and 168 goals but sadly left just as we got promoted to the premiership so only played in the second divison.

Probably Denis Irwin.

[ASSE]Hinchy · 22 Oct 2006 at 19:25

Some guy called Matthew Le Tissier

He would be my first choice if Giggs didn't exist. Giggs has been Man Utd's greatest servant in my lifetime.

special mention with 204 goals in 222 games to brian clough just because his quotes crack me up .

Of my generation - Duncan Ferguson

Neville Southall, Goolkeeping god and 578 league appearances (over 750 in all competitions) for Everton, a club record.

Easily Paul Stewart or Istvan Kozma for Liverpool. That Carragher bloke has a lot to answer for.

Chrisss · 22 Oct 2006 at 20:12

Theo Walcott.

Greenlizard0 · 22 Oct 2006 at 20:26

Arsenal. It has to be Tony Adams. We've not had a leader like him since he left

converse_uprise · 22 Oct 2006 at 20:32

Graham Turner

hereford united.

So many, but of the modern generation probably Solskjaer, Keane or Giggsy.

Lonewolf · 22 Oct 2006 at 21:08

|The man for Old Trafford would surely be Sir Booby Charlton, 50 years service as player and director. If your looking for a current servant then, it has to be giiggs.

G|mp · 22 Oct 2006 at 21:12

There is too many tbh, Charlton, Giggs, Irwin, Keane, Sparky you could go on all night

Solskjar is another

The Edge · 22 Oct 2006 at 21:33

In my time Gordon Cowans or Paul Mcrath.

Nathan · 22 Oct 2006 at 22:14

steve bull

Nottingham Forest - Take your pick from Stuart Pearce, Des Walker, Peter Shilton.
