Williams with 3 times as many votes as Curle? I thought the poll said "best" not "favourite".

It shouldn't matter that he was only on loan.

I know he was only a loanee, but I think Matty Upson should be in there, but from those we can vote for Adie gets my vote.

Have to agree. What do we mean by 'Greatest'?

I think it may also reflects the possibility that many nobbers probably weren't around to see Curle play?

Thats always going to be the problem with these types of polls. As much as I love them age and memories are going to contribute to the make-up winning nominations.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Dirk Gently has already touched on this subject. It's difficult to get a poll to favour the older ones when a lot of people will remember the current more. As it is, I'm only creating these polls to simulate debate, better than talking about nothing worthwhile over the long boring summer!

For what it's worth, I think Adrian Williams is the better player than Keith Curle, but there you go.

papereyes What about Upson?


You know, you remind me of a duck related joke. It went something like this:

Duck comes into a pub and quacks to the barman "Got any bread?" The barman replies in the negative. The duck thinks for a moment and quacks again "Got any bread?" The barman gets angry and says "No, I bloody don't!" The duck was puzzled and quacked again "Got any bread?" The barman blew his top and said "If you don't stop going on about bloody bread, I will nail your beak shut!!!" The duck paused to think about it and quacked "Got any nails?" The barman was surprised by this and replied in the negative. The duck triumphantly quacked "Got any bread?"

I propose that along with the 11 positions we add a category of 'Greatest Loan Player'.

Upson can then be nominated, and rejected in favour of Mark McKeever

Excuse me, Compo's Hat, but that's not what the people of Hob Nob have voted.

You're clearly quackers.
