Is Will Buckley Brighton's greatest ever player??

[perseus]

Or would you place Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora or any other players above him??

I am talking ability here not longevity.

Nearly above those two. A long way to go to catch Lawrenson though.

Peter Ward
Frank Worthington
Bobby Zamora

If you are fifteen years old - yes - but for those of us with significantly longer memories - no.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Silly question.

Lawrenson.

 

[Steve Foster]

No ......... but is pushing in my top 10, since watching the Albion in the mid 70s

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

If you are fifteen years old - yes - but for those of us with significantly longer memories - no.

I'm 34 and the only player in my lifetime that compares is BZ....

Obviously cannot comment on the likes of Ward, Lawrenson etc.

Top 5 for me. First game 1977.

If it's about ability, then I thought most people agreed it was Vicente?

 

[Bruntburger]

Vicente by a long way !

He was officially an Albion legend after his first game against Doncaster.

This. But miles off being our best ever player..at the current time. Probably never will be as he will likely be sold if we don't go up this year. Best to realise your assets at their peak if your budget is poor.

 

[hola gus]

My god you start some stupid threads

 

[Seagull]

Quite hard to disagree with this statement. Buckley is class and could become our best ever player.

 

[Mellotron]

Or would you place Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora or any other players above him??

I am talking ability here not longevity.

Not even our best current player, ability wise.

 

[The Terminator]

No is the short answer, if he sticks around and takes us to the premier league then possibly.
If that twat zaha can manage to get an England cap then Buckley deserves one surely, for thoes NSC'ers of twitter #BuckleyForEngland is all over my feed. Keep going!

 

[Seagull]

Candidates: Lawrensen (yes prob #1), can we count Barry?, Foster, Horton, Zamora, Robinson (M not J!) .... Crumplin

 

[cmonbarrybringonwoody!]

He was officially an Albion legend after his first game against Doncaster.

This statement is agreeable

 

[Max Paper]

Buckley stole my heart on that glorious day in August 2011. As much as I love him, he's nowhere near our best ever player. Yet.

 

[Icy Gull]

Not even close...yet

 

[Norman Potting]

Surely the thread should be "Does Will Buckley have the potential to be our greatest ever player??"

 

[Southstandfaithful]

top 5 for me also.......
