Best United team - wide midfield

[golden_blunder]

Andre unfortunately was under-rated by many

the man was a wing god, pace power and could actually score goals too

that hat-trick against city

some small reminders of Andrei's brilliance

Some Everton goals

Didnt realise how many goals he'd actually scored for that lot too

 

[green demon]

Best and Giggs. However, Morgan, Coppell and Beckham were very close. Kan-Kan was there too and Ronaldo is creeping up on the rails.

 

[vanthaman]

i voted giggs and best

tied at 82

 

[KingEric7]

Easiest one yet. Giggs and Best are leagues ahead of most on that list.

 

[Classy Cannon]

Wanted to put Gordon Hill in, but it had to be Giggs & Best - legends. Best would be on the right, but that's OK...he would be wicked anywhere in attack.

But he could be irritating. The number of times he'd bomb down the wing and then at the crucial moment instead of crossing he'd turn away and make a meaningless pass.


Also suprised no one's mentioned Pobrobsky(?)

 

[UBERScholes]

Or Blomqvist

 

[REVELZold]

Giggsy winning by one vote.

 

[topper]

I went for Ryan and Andre. I doubt you'll see a better, more explosive pair of wingers in the same team ever again.

George just never struck me as traditional winger, he had more of a free role. In the modern game he'd be classed as a second striker or advanced playmaker.

Giggs and Best and Willie Morgan as my sub

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Voted for Best, despite not having seen him play, for pure "this poll will be utter crap if he doesn not win" reasons.

 

[golden_blunder]

so why isnt Keiron Richardson on that list?

 

[Liverpool_FC Bollocks]

Not rocket science is it, pal?

A traditional winger to me is someone who just stays out wide all game trying to get to the bye-line and get crosses in. George popped up all over the place, sometimes on the left too, and had more of a free role.

I agree.

 

[heffa]

It's a tradgedy how can you leave such un-rivaled talent out.

 

[samabachan]

so why isnt Keiron Richardson on that list?

Hey, don't forget Chadwick and Fletch.

 

[topper]

Willie Morgan was very good but not many rate him because he suffer's from anonymity caused by being around at the same time as Best.

He was probably as good as Giggs.

agree thats why he would be my third choice

 

[topper]

I just looked at the results so far and according to 151 posters Giggs is ahead of George Jeez Gigg is good but Best is better

 

[ntripunovski]

Best, Giggs, Ronaldo and Beckham

 

[Rooney24]

Best & Giggs. Close the book on this one.

Can't blame the posters, Topper. They can only vote for those they have seen, and quite a lot of them have grown up seeing only Giggs on the left. Even I have never had the previlege of seeing Best play, only seen footage in grainy black and white.

Many of us wouldn't have seen him play but to rate a DiStefano, Best or a Pele its not necessary to have seen them live. He has his place amongst the greatest footballers of all time and pisses all over Giggs. Best selects himself and the next spot should be a toss up between Coppel, Beckham and Giggs. Giggs would clearly win though.

Agreed, that's why I voted Best.

No No NO!!!

I'll probably get slaughtered but ... saw George many times. He was never (hardly ever) selected as a striker - not with Law / Kidd / Herd around - and he was never asked to be a central playmaker. When he was given more reponsibility, he couldn't handle it. He was simply a genius, mainly a winger (roaming one side to the other) and a scorer of (many) great goals.

Agree with that, but you could never really class him as an out-and-out winger. He was just too much of a free spirit.

 

[bcubed]

No brainer, Georgie and Giggsy none of the others even come close.

 

[topper]

but in the United side he was a winger Dennis and Bobby were inside left/right

 

[topper]

Agreed, that's why I voted Best.

so why aren't some other posters blessed with your objectivity Suresh

 

[kkcbl]

Learnt from the central defender 'fiasco' & chose two this time - has to be Best & Giggs, hands down!

 

[Ixion]

Can't believe Ronaldo has more votes than Beckham, some people must have watched our Treble season with their eyes closed!

 

[scops]

i didnt see best, ah well we all know its giggs and best anyhow.

 

[ih8cheatskiscum]

Becks and Giggs in my time....Best was better than either though

 

[ERICSAGOD]

This is a joke right.

Giggs has more votes than Best
Beckham has more votes then Kanchelskis

Obviously a lot of spotty 16+ year olds voting, who never saw Best or Kanchelskis.

 

[Virtuoso]

Best and Giggs - hopefully in about 10 years we can say Best and Ronaldo

 

[RedThaiDevils#7]

In five years I'd pick Ronaldo though

 

[RedCanadian]

Giggs and Best!! Absolute Class!!

 

[OK enough.]

Giggs and Best obviously,

 

[ricardo_lopez]

Ryan Giggs

 

[DubaiReds]

Giggs and Best both capable of wrong footing the crowd let alone the defenders

I always thought Best was a striker who often went outwide if needed. You learn something every day. Yesterday I learnt that O'shea is a legend.

Best and Giggs easily for my choices. Unfortunately poll is closed now so...
