I don’t dispute that even about Wilson. He contributed more than Westwood but he’s not a better keeper.

I just think looking a the whole picture - he was a prem goalkeeper for us at 18. He stood out in a team that got relegated and got a move to Liverpool for 6m whilst we were in the second division. That was unheard of at the time. Ability wise he had everything.

I don’t diminish Oggys achievements - he won the FA Cup and was a solid goalkeeper throughout our prem years. Just feel everything about Kirkland screamed class, Hedman was a classy goalkeeper aswell

It's obviously been put together by a younger person as it's complete and utter bollocks.

I think you would struggle to justify anyone who hadn't played in the top league. We were there for 34 years so the players of that period should be the best we have had. Having said this, I do think the standard of football now is better than it was and so some of the top flight players we have had were not as good as players we have now or have had in recent years ( Bamber v Gyokeres or David Bradford v Hamer). I’m still not sure that Viktor or Gus would make the top 100.
There are some big omissions from that list. Neil Martin for example, one of the best Centre forwards we have had. Maurice Setters who more than anyone kept us in the top division during our first two years of struggle. I couldn’t see Jim Blyth on the list, our best goalkeeper I think after Oggy and Glazier. No place for Graham Oakey, a wonderful right back whose career was ended by injury. No Jim Holton or Mick Coop either. Those are only off the top of my head. I’m sure there are loads more.
