Earlsfieldowl Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Love the screamer against Newcastle in the green hooped kit. He had it all...doubt we will see his like again here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think to match Hirst for pace and strength and power in his shot,was Dalien Atkinson.... Loved Varadi,Bannister and Chapman tho..... Was gutted when both Atkinson left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 OK, am ancient but even this before my time. Didn't someone once score 4 to inspire a 5 - 4 win against Man U at Hillsborough? Weren't we losing 1 - 4 at half -time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashamanic Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 How many Wednesday players came close to Hirst since he left? None But how many English players at any club? Rooney for his first 8 or 9 years. that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point however I'd still take a fully fit David Hirst over any premier league striker over the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact every single post could end straight away by replying " we all know the answer to this ". However, that's not the point of the site. Its to discuss things that we enoy talking about, even if its repetious. Most topics in football come under the title of " the bleeding obvious ".

Any ? Or British ? There are loads i take before David Hirst if they weren't British and at least six to eight strikers if they were British.

torryowl Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 very good player hirsty and without his injury problems could have made the step up to international level on a regular basis ...but no english striker better than him in the last 20 years is pushing the blue tinted specs a bit far ........

Ha ha sure is lol. You have Shearer, Owen, Fowler, Wright, Cole, Rooney.....need i go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Shearer, Wright and Cole were all around the same time and none as good as Hirst. Rooney for sure and probably Owen, though he was mostly pace. Fowler probably deserves to be in the same class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
