Dunbar 8,520 Report post Posted February 8 I didn't get the chance to see Bevan or Sullivan play so I can't really comment. I think there is a very decent argument for either Hanley or Lewis to be the best of all time. I think that covers all of them! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Frisky 777 Report post Posted February 8 All depends on who is voting. Someone who has watched SL and Leeds for the past 20 years would probably think Sinfield is the greatest but he maybe doesnt know who say Andrew John's is or ever saw Ellery Hanley play. Likewise someone in Oz maybe doesnt know any British players except maybe the likes of Morley or Burgess etc. Same these days when every kid argues about the best ever soccer player- Messi or Ronaldo but anyone over 30 will laugh and say Maradona was far better than both as he played in a tougher era on poor pitches etc - older fans will say Best or Pele etc It's all relative to who is voting. The Answer to this question by the way is Ellery Hanley. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now so we all dont laugh at you - just let us know how many SL games you played, points you scored, dream teams you made, GFs you won, CCFs you won, GB caps England caps and I'm assuming you won at least 2 golden boots for best player on the world as Sinfield only won that the once.....

If it's how they played in England of course he had only one good game Then if so what about Jamie Lyon? He probably did more than Lewis In England Edited February 8 by aj1908 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
