Our best ever signing...

[rochdaleblue]

I was fortunate to witness the great team of the mid 80s. There were so many great players signed for relative peanuts in those days. Southall, Reid, van de Hawe, sheedy, Steven, Sharp. But the signing that proved the catalyst for that great team to come together was Andy Gray. Kendall admitted it as much. His sheer will to win and infectious personality lifted the whole team into the great side that they became. For that reason I’m going for Andy Gray.

All time it's Dean, Ball or one of the various players in the 80s like Southall.

Recently Cahill, Baines, Arteta and Rom are in the running.

 

[iandavid59]

Sheedy without a doubt.

Howard Kendall.

Legend on and off the pitch
He helped make most of the names being mentioned the greats they were. Bally, Big Nev, Peter Reid, Andy Gray etc etc.

One common denominator.

Who's the greatest of them all?
The fella who played next to Alan Ball.

All depends on your era I suppose, all time bets then obvs Dixie, Bally etc, best signing as in didn’t see it coming was Reidy and big Nev, Reidy was a wreck when we got him ( as was Andy Gray of course) and nobody expected him to make the impact he did. but for me Neville was the one, absolutely underwhelming signing, turned out to be possibly our second best ever player ( people will argue for Bally, but Nev was world class for longer ( for Everton anyway).

For a moment then I thought you were talking about Phil Neville!
