I’ve been thinking about this a fair bit recently, and hopefully it sparks some good discussion. We’re a club with a long history, and a diverse fan base, and it’s always interesting to see how people respond to questions like this:

Who are your favourite, and least favourite players? More specifically I’m interested in:

  1. Your favourite player in the current squad?

  2. Your favourite player ever?

  3. Your “what could have been” player - someone you were hopeful about when we signed them, but never quite lived up to the hype?

  4. Your least favourite? Maybe someone who seemed to make it in the lineup no matter what when you could see what everyone couldn’t - they were shit.

    1. Gotta be our Starboy, very closely followed by Smith-Rowe, hoping to see him on the pitch a bit more soon

    2. Probably Ljungberg, dyed my hair with the red streak and everything when I was in school! Haha

    3. Julio Baptista loan maybe? I remember being super excited about that one and it not quite working out but I could be wrong

    4. I think it was a pretty common sentiment at the time but I used to hate seeing Pascal Cygan on the team sheet around the invincibles era

      Wow, I love the Ljungberg commitment!! Smith-Rowe probably would’ve ended up my favourite current player if not for the injury. I’m with you, I hope he is back to lighting it up for us again soon.
