Shamelessly stolen from Friend Book. Since we're in the year 2010, I thought it'd be good to run over the next few weeks a few polls to name your top eleven of the past 20 years. Rules are, the players MUST have played for Aberdeen between 1990 and 2010. I'm not going to mention ALL players from the past two decades ... just the ones worth mentioning (hence no Bossu, Warner or )

 

Lets start with goalkeeper ...

Fairly sure Reekie that Theo gave an interview saying it was a mistake going to rangers.

 

At the time it was well rumoured that rangers were after him, every season it seemed to come up. Gutted he went to rangers but still a legend.

That dave is a travesty - I remember Theo's debut at Dens Park he was incredible

 

Well, all that means is you are probably old enough to be my mum. 

 

No contest, it has to be Theo

1. Snelders

2. Leighton

3. Kjaer

4. Langfield

5. Stillie

How anyone can have Theo above Leighton is beyond me. And never include Clangfuck in anything. That fud's a piece of shit.

 

If the poll was dated 1980 - 2010 then I'd have voted for Leighton. Imo Leighton didn't perform to the same level second time round. That's not to say he wasn't a good keeper during his second stint.

Would have Leighton ahead of Theo if it didn't specifically relate to Leighton's second spell with us

Fair enuf. 1990 onwards. Still think Bolton are a horrible team but Coyle interviews well. Also don't agree with pancake Tuesday.

I agree was going to vote for Leighton but then realised we were talking about his 2nd stint so it has to be Theo

Theo without a doubt

 

 

What a team!!!

What a team!!!

A phenomenal team. The oft-unheralded Robertson was the best left back I ever saw at AFC.

Agreed. This is why I chose not to include any of the players who played before 1990 ... otherwise, we'd just have the starting lineup from Gothenburg, plus Charlie Nicholas.

That was Ian Robertson in that game. I'd imagine he wasn't the best left back you saw at AFC as he was utter ding.

I wouldn't have Rougvie, McMaster or Cooper in mine... 

No place for Rougvie?! Hardest player this side of ... aaaaaah, me thinks you might be looking forward to the midfielder poll when Bisconti and Richardson are there.

No, no... just McKimmie  and Robertson would have been my full backs. I'd pick Granty ahead of Bisconti and Rico too

Take it Ryan Esson posts on this site for him to have gained a vote.

Yeah but as I said above is there going to be any player from later than the mid 90s that will get anywhere near the team?

Jess, Stavrum and Anderson probably the only ones

Stavrum? Ahead of Shearer, Gillhaus, Booth and Prunty?

and Prunty?

 

 

Agree though.  Stavrum was great but I can't see him getting in this team.  We will have a plethora of great strikers to choose from.

 

Those were the days. 

Stavrum? Ahead of Shearer, Gillhaus, Booth and Prunty?

 

I stand corrected

Reekster - are you doing the rest of this or is our team just consisting of Theo?

Crack on Reekie min!

Aye, whilst I have a suspicion we'll all have 8 or 9 of the same players it's been a good read so far.

 

Just don't try and upgrade the thread Reekie
