Ricard better than Peter Beardsley, Jackie Milburn, McDonald, Shearer, Owen, Cole, Big Les???? You have got to be kidding me!!
ricard was explosive, strong, fast and probs one of the best finshers of his time his and brian deane's partnership will go down in folklore
please - you have already posted in the wrong forum (i would stay clear of jess!) but now you are having the cheek to even suggest any boro "strikers" as being best the NE has ever seen. oooooooooooooooooooooooh dear! :doh:
slaven was the ultimate predator. the saying 'fox in the box' was because of bernie. would walk into any newcastle team. i think use to are just jel coz we had some of the best centre forwards ever seen in the NE. lets not start on the paul wilkinson/ john hendrie combo struck fear into any defence
im winding use up brian deane and hamilton ricard was probs the slowest must un-imaginative partnership ive ever seen. proper dog shit robson signings. wilko was shite, hendrie was alright at times rav was good tho. just a greedy bastard we did robbie mustoe tho. rob lee didnt have shit on him back in the day tho
dont be daft... clough, camsell, mannion, slaven, fenton, peacock, ravanelli, mccrae and even modern players like hasselbaink and viduka have top class pedigree. dont be jealous just cos your dreams died when the rat and the lanky paddy dissappeared
jon stead without a doubt, his finishing is amazing he can hit the corner flag and any seat in the stand you want from 5-45yards (now the opposition goal, thats another matter)
temuri ketsbaia. he could dribble and shoot without ever looking which direction he was going in, eyes always fixed firmly on the floor.
