Wilson scored his goals during one season in Divison 3. Dion scored 72 goals in something like 172 matches against PL defenders. How you can even try and make a case for Wilson over Dublin is frankly ridiculous.
You sir, must have had shit in your eyes.
Ha, Im not trying to convince you. I know I was in the minority but that's how I saw it. nothing more frustrating than having a player with talent who only turns it on when he wants. Id go for months waiting for him to have a good game and have to listen to everyone going nuts about him.
You sure it was Dion Dublin and not Paul Williams you were watching?

It used to wind me up that everyone loved Dublin. This is how I remember him (97/98 aside)...
He would have a flurry of games where he'd dominate defenders and score a shit load of goals, then he'd be gash for the remainder of the season and barely win a header.
Same with McAllister, shit for a season, injured for a season and a half, class for a season, then he fucked off! (Interesting that our best season while he was here was when he was injured).
Keane was class for half a season and then went off the boil.
These are just my favourite players - Wilson is in because he was exciting and consistent over the course of the season - ie he had no dips in form. Same with Robson. I might even swap Nuddy with Whelan...
Burrows is about the best left back we've had that I can remember (I nearly went with Fox) - other than that it's been a dull position for us. If I was going 442 I'd drop Ndlovu and put Brian Borrows at left back!

Disagree with the term 'ALL TIME' when it starts in 1980. Of course CCFC didn't exist before you were born. God knows what I was watching before then. Maybe I just imagined players like George Curtis. Willie Carr. Bill Glazier. Tommy Hutchinson. Terry Yorath. etc etc
No. Just no! Dublin was the best striker I've seen and McAllister the best central midfielder - at this club anyway. Keane was also class.
I'm not a fan either, but more for his well-documented refusal to play at Luton.
It was a joke! How can anyone honestly put together an All Time XI?!?
Viorel Moldovan only need a quarter of a chance to score.Keane was lethal. He only needed half a chance to score.
One season I thought Keane didn't score a single goal away from home. Not sure but I think so.
Really quite strange, obviously your view and that but Dublin was probably the most consistant good performers during that era. Wasn't that often he had a bad game. McAllister however, great player for us in the Championship but very average for us in during the Premiership years.
He was only with us one season
Yes I know. Did he score any goals away from high field road? I may have imagined it but seem seem to recall that as a fact but may be an urban myth

Just checked. He scored 2. He played 14 games away without a solitary strike.
