Nilsson was poor class, Sterland was guts and endeavour - both have their merits but it's Nilsson for me.

[HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU]

Attacking or defending ?

Either, he was poo poo hot at both. In all his time with us, I only ever saw him make one mistake, and that was a back pass that cost us a goal at Old Trafford in the first leg of a game, we lost 1-0, then we got slaughtered 5-1 at Hillsborough.

There was a pole a couple of years ago conducted by Sky sports, for the best ever eleven since Sky started broadcasting, Nilsson was in the team.

[HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU]

I'd just like to add that I loved Sterland as much as anyone, but Nilsson could have walked into any team in europe, he really was that good.

[Lees Tom Cat]

Sterland.

[Owlsinmisery]

Roland any day of the week..........................I'd give up my testicles to have a player of that quality playing for Wednesday again

[Guest Dalians shot]

Thats like comparing David Hirst with Deon Burton

Nilsson was World Class. Sterland was a decent player but he signed for the Scum

When Saturday comes, Zico in a pig shirt. Nasty, in fact I've just poked myself in my minds eye for thinking about it.

No it isn't

Zico was also a very good player - i don't give a shot what anybody says but Zico was better going forward than Rolly and he undoubtedly carried a greater goal threat himself

But on balance Rolly was the better right back - but there isn't a huge gulf between them

[Guest Dalians shot]

You are having a laugh. There was a massive gulf in class IMO

You're entitled to your opinion

Fair Enough. I think Nilsson is the best player to play for us in my lifetime

[Utah Owl]

Nillson is the best right back we have ever had, however Sterland is my favourite player particularly because of the threat he carried going forwards. Scored loads of spectacular goals for us and made plenty of others. Both in their prime would have walked into virtually any team in the country and we were very fortunate to have the one replacing the other.

Mind you my decision could be based on the fact that as a player myself (very low level) I was nicknamed "Zico" due to a passing resemblance both physically and in style of play. The bad news is I look like him now as well!

[Last_Great_Hope]

Ironically, I was talking to two non- wednesday supporting mates tonight, and told them that Nilsson was the best right-back I have ever seen play live.

Which is true, I can't think of another right back since 1990/1991 who has been as good overall as Nilsson.

Of course I've never seen Sterland play, so I have no reference point. Really only the old timers can have a balanced opinion? Daveyboy?

[scram]

Having seen both make their debutsand their entire Owls careers i'd like to think my opinion is balanced

Sorry scram, only the guys who make a song n dance of how old they are stick in the memory. For me that's 1-0 to Nilsson then.

[Mike Hunt]

This is very interesting on a few levels .

I loved Roly for his pure class and proffessionalism sp

But Zico just excited me so much with his forward runs and his eye for goal not forgetting he also came from the school of "Thy shall not pass " and to this day a dyed in the wool Owl
