End of round two, and the team is starting to look like that all-conquering 1990 team. Despite the bustup with the fans and the move to Ibrox respectively, McKimmie and Robertson emerged as eventual winners of the left and right back positions. By the sounds of things, voters are voting with their memories of footballing ability, rather than sentimental value.

 

Next up is the two central defensive positions. To speed up the process, I'm going to allow you all to choose TWO players from this list. This will be interesting, because we've had some decent quality centrebacks play for us over the past 20 years - and not everyone agrees on who was quality and who was not! With this in mind, I'm choosing players based on their RECOGNISED positions (rather than players who play elsewhere, but have done not too bad when placed as CB on a temporary basis)

 

This poll will run until next Saturday. Remember, these are ONLY players who've played for Aberdeen between 1990 and 2010. As before, I'm not going to mention ALL players from the past two decades ... just the ones worth mentioning.

Differing definitions of good.

Differing definitions of defenders!

 

(See I got more alliterative there!)

I reckon we're still round about what I posted.

Fair enough.

Went for Mcleish and Whyte-I thought was nae too bad a player when we were prety shite

Good to see you voting from memory there.

Ando and Mcleish for me

Smith was a centre half, no question about it.

 

In reality it has to be Anderson and Eck but if Willie is on the list then I'm voting for him and everyone else should as well.

 

 

 

I never saw Willie Miller play for us in the 90s so I've gone for McLeish and Anderson.

"good/really good + donkey". Ok. So, you think Anderson was a good player, could he not take the place of the donkey you quote?  It's not who made the best partnership... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And you think Smith was a better player than Anderson (I assume) despite his total arse collapse once McLeish left his side?

 

The thing about McLeish leaving is very true. But my memory is that Irvine really slumped when AM jumped ship to Motherwell which was a bolt out of the blue. We suddenly realised who was holding Irvines hand. Theo also started flapping when the huns took Beano.

 

If memory serves Miller made some major surgery in that close season - Jazzer, Connor out, Ray McKinnon came in etc.. and THEN McLeish suddenly departed. That was one of the most destabalising things that led to the sacking of Willie IMHO.

Voted for Miller and Mcleish but it was hard because both were comming to the end of their playing days and Willie was out injured alot towards the end.

Whyte??

 

McLeish defo and would probably have picked Anderson, missed this poll unfortunately.

 

Always mind going towards the end of Millers career and everyone was in awe of Miller, then seeing his knees give up at Easter Road one game.
