The Times Online recently named who it consider to have been the top 50 Manchester United players of all time and I’m interested in what you people think.
Was he REALLY the Greatest of the Greats?
I personaly disagree with many of the rankings and I have no doubt that many other people will have vastly different opinions, so let’s have your thoughts and let us know who at least your top 5 should be.
Rather than nominating my top five legends I would prefer to name who I consider to have been the most influential players in the club’s history.
1 – Eric Cantona
2 – Billy Meredith
3 – George Best
4 – Jack Rowley
5 – Roy Keane
This is what The Times considers to be The Top 50.
3 Duncan Edwards – 4 Eric Cantona – 5 Bryan Robson
6 Roy Keane – 7 Ryan Giggs – 8 Denis Law
9 Roger Byrnes – 10 Peter Schmeichel – 11 Bill Foulkes
12 Johnny Carey – 13 Paul Scholes – 14 Nobby Stiles
15 Paddy Crerand – 16 Mark Hughes – 17 Gary Neville
18 Shay Brennan – 19 Harry Gregg – 20 Wayne Rooney
21 Billy Whelan – 22 Norman Whiteside – 23 David Beckham
24 Billy Meredith – 25 Tommy Taylor – 26 Denis Viollet
27 Ruud van Nistelrooy – 28 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 29 Brian Kidd
30 Jack Rowley – 31 Paul McGrath – 32 Rio Ferdinand
33 Steve Bruce – 34 Eddie Coleman – 35 Teddy Sheringham
36 Alex Stepney – 37 Andy Cole – 38 Martin Buchan
39 Stan Pearson – 40 Gary Pallister – 41 Noel Cantwell
42 Jaap Stam – 43 David Herd – 44 Joe Spence
45 Denis Irwin – 46 Dwight Yorke – 47 Tony Dunne
48 Brian McClair – 49 Mark Robins – 50 Cristiano Ronaldo
What a listing! How can these players ever be forgotten! The numbers may change but the names must surely remain.
