Carragher for me

Bill Nicholson has to be the man imo.

Nedved11 · 23 Oct 2006 at 00:26

Has to be Giggsy for me. Have grown up with him, from his glorious under-21 days wining all the youngster awards to his fine form of today.

Theres been a few legends throughout the clubs history that spring to mind but im not really old enough to comment on them.

But of my time id have to say Niall Quinn, was a class player for us, and obviously his recent buying of the club has gone down well.

done a lot for charity and the city of Sunderland as well.

Steve Walsh for me

I think I agree although Gary Mabbutt runs him a close second.

If Ledley King sticks with the club then he will become a great servant too in terms of current squad members.

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

I'd agree with that. Either Nev or Dixie Dean.

Exactly

Although it did lead to us signing our best left back ever, FACT who I'm going to meet at the end of November

I stand corrected, for some reason I just automatically thought of players only.

Spurs Manager (1958-1974) - 832 games

servant does not mean your favourite player

Where did he say it was his favourite player? And is it not possible that someone's favourite player is in fact a club's greatest servant?

Who is yours?

Billy Liddel is Liverpool's greatest servant. The only person to have a team named after him "Liddlepool".

Superb.

mattbrown91 · 24 Oct 2006 at 17:55

Gary Kelly, Over 500 Appearances. From 1991 to present day.

That is who I can think of from my era.

All the other ones like Smith, Kewell and the suchlike all left.

Drawoh Tesremos · 24 Oct 2006 at 18:33

Another vote for Bill Nicholson, with Danny Blanchflower a close second.

Mad old tory · 24 Oct 2006 at 18:51

Just has to be Tony Adams, no-one even comes close. Of the current lot, Toure strikes me as being the best sort of player a team could have. Absolute rock on the field and never heard of off the field. No tabloid stuff, just a truly committed player who's just signed a new contract
