Tsunami Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Good to see a few people rightly putting Laurent in there. Best winger we've ever had. I'd take issue with that. IMO both Ginola and Waddle were had better all round games and if you ask older folk they'll tell you that Shackleton was the best and when you look at his stats it's hard to disagree. Six on his debut and my dad often recalls being there when he sat on the ball on the touch line (I was there when Wharton also sat on the ball), he tells me he was an absolute genius.

The first time I remember thinking Ginola was a beast when he tore Neil Cox several hundred new arseholes v Smogs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I can't understand how people can leave Robert out mind, he was incredible when he was on form. Absolutely transformed us from an average side to a very decent one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The longer Robert was with us the bigger his good game: bad game ratio became. Very talented and on his day a match winner but when he couldn't be arsed, he was a waste of time. For me, his best game was one of his first, at Boro away when we crushed them 4-1. Scored one and made the other three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored one and made the other three. You'll get that with maverick geniuseses though. I remember him making 4 against Breda, the two goals against Tottenham, and the overhead backheel volley against Fulham as particular favourites. I could forgive his Gallic shrugs for those moments.

PineBarrens Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 was anybody else at Ginolas debut vs Coventry fkin unreal football that day. He was even better in the next home game against Middlesbrough; poor Neil Cox still suffers from sleepless nights i believe as a direct result of that match.
