Wardy or Zamora - who was best?

[harold robbins]

Having seen both of them at their best its a close one to call. BZ is undoubtedly one of the finest players to pull on an Albion shirt, certainly in my time. However, I am afraid Wardy just has the edge - I am not a statistican but I think his scoring record was slightly better and he did score consistently at what was then Div 2 (now Div 1) level.

Altogther now ......

WE ALL LIVE IN WARDY WONDERLAND ETC.ETC.


Anyone else care to venture an opinion?

I never saw Wardy play 'cos I was still in figures when he played for the Albion, so my Dad, probably wisely, didn't take me to games.

Zamora, however, is the best player I've ever seen.

I tihnk the difference between the two was wardy did his scoring in a hgiher league than Zamora and that probably make sthe difference of course Bobby still has his career ahead of him to show his full potential.

In an Albion shirt though I would go for Wardy.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

striker Zamora, player Wardy. He dropped his shoulder then breezed past a player. There was an anticipation whenever he got the ball, whereever on the pitch. It was a privilege watching the bloke.

It's probably an 'age' thing, because I was watching Wardy when I was a teenager, I thought he was God in a stripey shirt and my feelings for the man haven't diminished at all over time.
Bobby's been fantastic for us too....but my vote, with no hesitation goes to Peter Ward (How many penalties did he win for us taking the piss out of clumsy defenders? GENIUS)
Lastly, Ward still loves The Albion after all these years, let's hope Bobby remembers us with similar fondness too.

Like sending the fans a goodbye message like Micky did when he went?

 

[Padders]

Having seen both, I can honestly say Ward was far better. However Bobby still has time to improve.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Wardy by a long way,and as someone posted earlier said, he still loves the club.
But deep respect to Bobby Z,he was the nearest thing to Wardy I have seen in 20 years

So who will be the next Legend?,and I hope we dont have to wait another 20 years to find him

I was about -8 in the days of Wardy, so I'll have to say Zamora.

 

[Yorkie]

Wardy, no contest but Bobby was special

 

[Zebedee]

Gotta be Wardy. He was by far and away the most naturally talented player to turn out for the Albion. Zamora is good and will get better but Wardy had that little bit extra that makes a player truly special.

Can I be the founder member of the Peter Ward fan club?

 

[chez]

Wardy, no contest so far. But who says the world has seen the best of Bobby yet?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If you're asking who was the best after they'd left the Albion, the answer is ....

.... Dean Saunders

 

[chez]

deano done OK when he left us but the player who done best has to be Ian Wright (well he played for the ressies once didnt he?)

 

[perseus]

Wardy was the most exciting by a long way, but then Wardy was more exciting to watch than Ryan Giggs.

But who was the better player, I think Bobby Z will have a more successful career, despite the very recent set back.

 

[Gwylan]

Wardy by some way. I never felt the buzz with BZ that I did with Wardy, maybe it's an age thing.

 

[wolfie]

REMEMBER the great KIT NAPIER
Scored more goals than both Peter & Bobby.
Having said that, I go for Wardy ! Simply because he humiliated defenders and scored sublime goals at the highest level (hat trick away to Wolves is my fondest memory on a frozen pitch against Emlyn Hughes shortly before Xmas 1979)

 

[Jameson]

Wardy - a player blessed with perfect balance - few can equal - perhaps only Ian Wright/Georgie B in my memory. However, Zamora is a slightly different player - with both 30 goal+ players don't argue -celebrate. We have been truly blessed (apols Georgie - the best of them all).

 

[Van der Gully]

Bobby is a good player, Ward is a living legend.

 

[Zebedee]

Bobby is a good player, Ward is a living legend.

Spot on Van de.....
