it's funny when threads like this start and you get the thinking hat on...

there have been so many good players for our team it's really hard to single one out but i guess for me in no particular order would be....

Jimmy

Tokes

Bobby

Barry

Mike T

Paul - Ritchie Sheerin and Cherry

Iain Stewart

Herch

and who could forget the runs down the wing of Wilson Robertson and the dead ball specialist Brian Thompson..

this list is not exhaustive nor exclusive!!

The extreme difficulty in answering this question is a tribute to the host of excellent signings Steve Paterson and his successors have made over the years.

On the other question, the number of "duffers" is much, much smaller, hence a much shorter list of candidates for Worst Ever. It's fair also to say that this list features players who the managers of the time really didn't want but who were "given" to them. Vetle springs to mind as a prime example.

My top 3 would be (and they are more "recent" players I'm afraid).

1 Paul Sheerin

2 Barry Robson

3 Barry Wilson

Those are in no real order.

Sheerin - His passing was top notch and some of the stirkes he unleashed were incredible. One strike v Alloa from about 35 yards springs to mind. And aside from that Cup final he was ice cool from the spot. I mind when he took the piss out of Andy MacLaren in the Killie Cup game getting the ned so wound up he booted Sheerin into touch and got a red card for his troubles. Sheerin picked himself up and laughed at him  :015:

Robson - One of the Wing Kings for ICT. On his day, no one could cross a ball like he could with that left foot. A menace at free kicks as well and a fantastic dribbler. Ask County fans if you need more proof  :015: Temper often let him down but for his sheer skill and ball control Robson has to be up there.

Wilson - Another Wing King and often was used up front and repaid Paterson with a number of goals. I always used to think he was better than the other ICT players because he had Adidas Predators on  :015: He had pace and skill in abunance and while those might have diminshed now (the skill not so much) he is still so intelligent he knows exactly what to do with the ball even if he can't beat a man.

Aye..that goal he scored at Viccy Park was one of the best individual goals i have ever seen an ICT player score.

But,  he's a fair bit down my list...

Barry Wilson even now still gives you that expectation when he gets the ball, and you can see a wee bit panic in the opposition players eyes, did you see the video on utube when he slipped Gravesen and left him for dead!! brilliant.

2:- i have the we've got barry barry barry barry willson on our wing chat stuck in my head for the last x number of weeks now LOL

Charles,

A bit of bait there!

If Pele started with us in '95 and Vetle Anderson signed in '97, who was the giver?

It used to be Mark McAllister.

Diving header, Howden End, mouthful of mud, winning goal deep in injury time, standing at games, wasn't it, mmm, jumpers for goalposts....
