Craig 6286 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Again leaving aside people who are/have been associated with NUFC, which footballing personalities do you admire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4182 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 this one is a lot harder than personalities you despise the top managers are all too often involved in petty arguments for me to admire as such, still respect their ability though players... pretty much all arseholes the one man I truly admired was SBR but hes got the NUFC connection I suppose the closest I get is players like Zola and more recently Messi who just take absolute joy in playing the game you can see it on their face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 There was a guy who played for Villa who gave half his wages to charity. Paul Scholes, the only player in the Premiership who refuses to use an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubiousBobcat 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I would have said James Milner but then again, he has the NUFC connection. So I will just take the easy road out and say Beckham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman02uk 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Dwight Yorke in his Villa/early Man U days You mean the guy who knocked back out of some slag, had a disabled son and then refused to acknowledge him or pay anything towards him? yeah real upstanding bloke that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentAxeman 81 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Darren Moore & Linvoy Primus. Do shitloads for charity. Also as was mentioned earlier Ryan Giggs. Edit: Gary McAllister as well Edited March 16, 2010 by AgentAxeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3954 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Edit: Gary McAllister as well I used to like him before he did an atrocious tackle on Rob Lee at Elland road in about 94 - raked his studs down his Achilles from behind - only a yellow of course.

I can't remember that like, but I used to admire him, Paul McGrath I used to admire a lot I know Jonny2J feels the same and I'll whisper it quietly but Gordon Strachan was an absolutely immense player who it was difficult to dislike as a player. I love footballers who can strike a ball, very few can truly, truly hit it in my view, Hasselbaink was a joy to watch for me, and seems a very nice bloke too, came from a rough upbringing to do well for himself.

NUFC_Mag 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ji Sung Park - Couldnt ask for more in a footballer. Model professional, fantastic graft and energy levels, doesnt give the ball away and technically solid. Bullard, Wenger (despite his whinging I admire his pro-football attitude) and Shearer.

Guest alex Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Zico, Platini, and Baggio are probably my favourite 3 non-Newcastle related players. I could list about 50 though tbh. As managers go I probably admire Wenger the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
