Players U Like to Like

Just for a bit of fun...

Are there any players who hold a special place in your heart ? Or that you have an affinity for ?

Not intended to be a "Player Of The Year" type vote or be only about football (but obviously vote how U Like).

So many to mention and choose from but I'm going Shaun Pearson for his professionalism.
Plus cos the only time he spoke to me (remarkably I was awestruck and lost for words !), he seemed like a good & likeable bloke.  

All the usual suspects are there but (with only 7 poll options) please mention any other players you have a certain "soft spot" for.

Mckaown for me, he has been a top keeper for us and I think he'll prove to be one of our best keepers, has to be the best keeper since I've started following town 5 years ago. Though Thomas too is one my favourate players. He has to be the best left back in the last 5 years too.

Agree !
Actually it's funny you mention him first Gary cos nearly put him in myself but obviously had some very tough choices with only 7 poll options.
Bah these damn fishy polls...

Should of put him in instead of Elding. Although I like Elding, I can't see him being anyones favourate with the likes of Thomas and Mckaown and Nielson etc etc. Like you said tough choices. I like some of these fishy polls, they can be rather interesting.

Certainly see your point Gary and perhaps you're right but tbf he's always had a lot of support before.

tbh I forgot about the "transfer list" thingy but whilst I'm not any big fan of him as a player, I DO agree with what Scott said:

"Fans are entitled to their opinions but I don't think anyone can question his attitude towards this football club."

That's at least on the pitch in my OWN opinion and part the reason I put him in.
Like you say tough choices, gimme a break here !

Corrected for you  

One other last point if I may Gary.
You say "favourite" but look at the actual poll question, I'm wondering if you're got the wrong end of the stick or thinking solely in terms of ability on the pitch ? (which if true is fine if you want I suppose)

Put it this way, given a straight choice guess the majority would rather LIKE to have Thomas in the team over Elding. (at the very least right now).

But Elding is arguably more of a "talisman" figure with arguably more "endearing" individual characteristics (depending on your view of course and do hope I haven't misjudged the general feeling !) than someone like Thomas who, whilst I have the greatest of respect for, is probably one of the more "quieter" players who doesn't stand out (but not in terms of form if you know what I mean).

Anyway, regardless of anyone's personal view do you see where I'm coming from ?...

tbh I was hoping to witness titbits of humour and gestures of goodwill, not a huge flippin' debate or defence of the poll options...

I voted Bradley Wood purely because of his passion and determination he shows every game

Bradley wood frankie artus andy cook and derek niven, i always seem to see them out and about and they are all friendly and stop to talk to me especially brad wood

Did they give you a penny for your guy?

Thomas is a cracking player and is probably the best left back outside the league, probably better than most in league 2 as well.

Liam Hearn is a great bloke, always polite and actually seems happy at what he is and has achieved...lets face it, who wouldn't enjoy being hero worshipped. I like Pearson too, just a shame he's a flipping manure fan.
