Rob Jones

[Phil236849]

Was watching the Man Yoo 3-3 (ruddock/clough2) the other day. i'd forgotten how good rob jones was and promised to be.

 

granted, his shooting was erratic, but in every other sense he was quality. i'm now thinking the best RBs at LFC in my time watching the reds is

 

1. P Neal

2. R Jones

3. M Babbel

4. S Nicol

5. S Finnan

 

Also ESPN is the dogs, and mark wright was another nearly but not quite man who you rarely hear about in a reds context isnt he.

Would have Stevie Nicol higher than that.

 

Arguably top even. At his peak, tremendous. Footballer of the Year too.

 

Big clown feet, mind.

[allez les rouges]

nicol is number 1 on that list for me.

[Benzo-13]

That lot are all brill.

[Guest Scot]

I love Rob Jones. F*cking legend.

[oojason]

Hope he plays in one of the Legends games sometime - be great if were to actually score a goal for us

 

Top, top player

Really was. Stevie Nicol's my all-time favourite, but I f*cking love Robbie Jones.

1. P Neal

2. s nicol

3. s finnan

4. r jones

5. m babbel

 

really tough to pick between the top 5.....the bottom 2 really due to their unfortunate injuries and of course ilness, we were not able to view them over a long period of time.

[fyds]

No Chris Lawler on that list? Good as anyone else there.

[gkmacca]

Chris Lawler was class - and he scored a hell of a lot of goals for us from right back.

calm down Grandad!!!

I was surprised there was still sad old gits like me who remember Phil Neal!!!!

Thank God for Fyds!!!!!

 

Nicol would top that list for me.

i did think after posting i should have swapped nicol and babbel. all of them are of a very high standard though so its splitting hairs. lawler was before my time. and stevie nic played in various positions so that's probably held him back in my "best right back" analysis. i think when he won his footballer of the year, he was playing in central defence.
