It's a tough ask to compare to Roland though, none since even come close. In fact, going back would only put Mel Sterland in the same bracket as Nilsson. Sterland was not even close to being in the same bracket as Nilsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Not sure about Petrescu, seemed more like a wing back playing at being a full back Very creative, but didn’t convince me defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 For me I’d give it to Peter Atherton. Not the best player going but steady mostly.. consistently played for 3-4 years at premier league level and didn’t miss many games. After we got relegated there’s nobody of note until Simek, then Buxton, then Hunt. Pretty much everyone else who has played there was garbage (unless I’m missing anyone obvious off the top of my head). Given those 3 never played at the highest level, and that Simek was only good for a year or so before being injured and Buxton was steady in a lower end Championship kind of way, the stand out is Atherton.

Petrescu was technically a superb player and when he played at wing back he was a class above anything else on the pitch. But on a flat back 4 he was a bit suspect defensively.

Might have been if he came years earlier, not at the end of his career... In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to, the classic Bukta kit and magnificent curly mullet, he was god like to me as a 5 year old fan, marauding down the wing. That said, Nilsson the best RB I've had the pleasure to watch (but Mel second) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Atherton was garbage ! Petrescu was class clinically underused. Think had it not been for injuries Simek would have followed Brunt and Whelan to the premiership and had a decent career there, was class for us before his injury. Rb is a position we need to strengthen this summer get rid of Liam Palmer please !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Best footballer or best right back? Petrescu were a nice footballer.... Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he was great but played 216 games for us in the Prem.. the others don’t come anywhere close to that so he has to get the vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
