   Rooney's is 20th position... VDS is in top 30 if I were not mistaken..

   No Ronaldo and v. Nistelrooy, Bobo? As much as I hate the prick Ronaldo, he has to be in the top 50, as does van Nistelrooy.

   I left out the Greenhoff brothers, Jimmy and Brian, and have surely forgotten some others.

   I think that's better. I also forgot to realise that you'd left out Rooney.

   BTW, how long have you been watching ManUtd? Since the 60s, it seems (by your signature)

   My first match at Old Trafford was against Aston Villa in 1957. I was four and my grandpa wore me around his neck in the Stretty!

    LOL bobotonto, you're much older than I expected. Anyway, I totally agree with the reason why Ronaldo is just nr. 50.

    Arthon, I spent two years in Romania on a Fulbright in Bucharest and Iasi when Ceausecu was still running things. My favourite Romanian phrase: "Un peste ale din cap!" Timosoara is the city of freedom!

    No, that was Taibi.

    Carroll was the on that saved the ball after it was a good 2 feet over the line against Tottenham and the ref called play-on!

    Good to see Keano polling strongly, he deserves it.

    Actually, upon closer inspection, it appears Caroroll didn't let the ball in after all.
