0Neils40yarder Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago For anyone that follows Liverpool FC on Facebook they will know that they are currently announcing the greatest 100 to ever play for the Club...they are currently at number 49 as they countdown to number 1, which Id assume will be Kenny Dalglish, but haven't yet mentioned St John. Anyway, got me thinking, whats Motherwells greatest 100...and it'll take a bit of thought and research id think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I imagine Roger Hunt will be number one on Liverpool's list, although recency bias can skew that type of list. I have no idea who would be number one for us. Of players I have actually seen, Joe Wark, Wullie Pettigrew, Bobby Graham, Peter Marinello, Garry McAllister, Bobby Russell and Davie Cooper would be up there. Players I never saw like Wilson Humphries, Ian St John, Johnny Aitkenhead etc would be on the list too. Technically I did see St John and Humphries play, but it was for the "Motherwell Old Boys" against the Radio Clyde DJs at Joe Wark's testimonial.

0Neils40yarder Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I'll be amazed if its anyone other than Dalglish on Liverpools list...to be fair to them, they have gone all the way back to the start of the club and named people like Alex Raisbech and even a certain Matt Busby. Motherwells would need to include Ferrier, McFadyen, Stevenson, Ellis and the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Bobby Graham and Gary McAllister too could be on both lists. The two Old Timers beside me in the POD still think Andy Paton was they greatest 'Well player they ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top20 I reckon St John was hugely important to Liverpool and its history. Him and Ron Yeats were the 2 who sparked Shankley’s reign of success. St John will be in their top 10 I’d imagine.

mio Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I’d have thought George Stevenson would be at number 1 for us. Legendary player in the clubs best ever side, league winner and also manager for our cup wins of the 50s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
