ajax_andy 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 For the NE HUB Blog I decided to focus on who the greatest player from each of the big 3 NE clubs was, and started with Newcastle United. Please have a read and let me know what you think. Not the easiest of things to write so am sure there'll be plenty of stuff I could have included but didn't, or maybe some mistakes, and so as always I look forward to your comments and if I got any facts wrong please let me know so I can quickly change them http://thenortheasthub.com/blog/part-1-20-years-of-the-premier-league-awards-newcastle-united/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27367 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Greatest player from the PL years or all time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Without a doubt your answers will be: Newcastle: Shearer Sunderland: Phillips Boro: Juninho FWIW I still reckon Pedro is the best player I've seen in a Newcastle shirt. And I think he was better in his second spell than he was in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27367 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Billy Askew - Jim Smith's 'final piece of the jigsaw'. Don't know what the jigsaw was meant to be when it was completed, mind. Without doubt the best NUFC player there's ever been that looked like an oompah-lumpah. Just seen Andy's 'PL' proviso!

Dr Gloom 20024 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Pedro for me. Technically the best. Though Ben arfa could match him in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Billy Askew - Jim Smith's 'final piece of the jigsaw'. Don't know what the jigsaw was meant to be when it was completed, mind. Without doubt the best NUFC player there's ever been that looked like an oompah-lumpah. Just seen Andy's 'PL' proviso! Heard a story about him in the Ritzy circa 1990, some lass asked him to dance and he went "I don't dance, I fuck, I smoke and I drink and that's it." He lived near where I did, when he was here, fuckin absolutely mint bloke to say he had a mackem accent used to have a kick around with us, I megged him iirc. Had the angriest staffy yev ever seen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's difficult to imagine a lass asking Billy Askew to dance. I once megged Danny Anderson. I megged Clarky as an 11 year old - he was 16 (I think) and he hauled me to the ground. He'd not do it now, I'd kick his fucking heed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
