Gordon Smith, obviously. :flag:


But I think the article means players who are still playing. So who would you choose?

Without a doubt Leigh

Without a doubt Leigh

:agree:

I think we've had better players over the years, but the main things we lack right is now is someone who can play up front on his own and someone who can create and score a goal out of nothing.

Must be Leigh.

Far from the worst offender and the spirit he showed the season after and his love of the club was infectious. Classy player too.

How anyone would choose Malonga before Leigh, Broony, Whittaker or Henderson is beyond me. The guy only played when he could be arsed. That's the reason his career has not been as successful as it should have been.

Didn't rate him at all. Average player in a poor side. Wouldn't want him anywhere near Easter Road now. A lot of people rated him though which is fair enough

Henderson took 2 decent corners all season and is overrated because of it. Was always knackered by 70 mins.

See how easy it is to critisize? Dom was quality and him not running about like a knob doesnt change that.

Henderson also quality but is a little overrated on here.

He played at his best at the hibees, he just needed a bit TLC.

As spud says "you've just got to treat em right man".

I would have loved to see big Dom win the cup with us.

Leigh Griffiths as he was, and still is, a phenomenal striker and his love for our club is brilliant. He scored over 40 last season in the top league so would dominate this one, increase crowds and probably help develop Jason which is a great thing. Shame that it won't happen though
