Too early yet for Liam to be compared to the others, although I seriously think he has enough to play at championship level.  Of the other two I think Mendonca was the better finisher but Drinks was the best all round forward.


When in doubt, start a conspiracy theory

Mendonca and Drinkell were totally different types of striker. Both excellent players, Drinkell being superior in the air and Mendonca having lightning thought and turning and shooting ability. Nothing to choose between them really. As for Hearn, he is playing in non league, the other two played in the Premiership!

Strange this has come up. One of hulls coaches who played with Clive said Hearn reminded him to a point of super clive...

Hearn is a long way short of the other two. Drinkell was probably the better all round player and his time in the top flight north and south of the border proves that but Mendonca's touch was top quality

Super Clive Mendonca! I think Drinks was prob slightly more talented but I often thought he was lazy and disinterested if things were not going his way.

This is an insult to two great players to even consider comparing them with a successful and yes, very good NON LEAGUE striker. Come on.

Liams producing the goods at this level and is the best striker we have had since we departed the championship, but not proven at a higher level so cant compare him to mendonca or drinkell. Id give my vote to super clive

Its hard enough remembering my opinions without remembering my reasons for them!

Never saw drinkell, so Mendonca for me. Can't compare him to Hearn YET!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

When Drinkell was just on the first team scene, David Pleat described him as "the forward with the most potential outside of the Premiership" (as it is called today).

We should certainly have got more than the miserly £105K Norwich stole him for. (This is the total that I remember the tribunal set).
