Latics most gifted player

Andy Liddell had a lot of natural ability. Like with Powell, a game was never lost with him on the pitch, you always had a chance of him pulling something out of nothing. He was great.

Nick Powell is a different type though. A bit like a Cantona type. Can score goals and has great vision. Can seem to be a passenger….then does what he did on Friday.

Glad we have him.

This is going to be a bit controversial but from recent times one of the most gifted players of the ilk of Powell that I can think of is Per Frandsen.
His Latics career was curtailed not long after it started, but from what I saw he looked class.

Sorry guys but why whenever a poll like this comes up do we always forget the most gifted and naturally talented played who ever played for the mighty latics. The one player who excelled in his position and once he left Springy went on to become one of the most feared strikers in English football. The forgotten man Michael J Quinn. Best player ever to wear the blue shirt. Feel free to name someone better.

I call him Emile because he’s always Sat on his arse like Heskey .

Jeff had one huge problem, he was so much better than the rest of his team mates.[/quote]

I do remember even as a child, the people who were stood around me would often get frustrated with him. I suppose he might be regarded the original jordi gomez.

On that note, i know gomez spent most of his time with us in the premier league, but he also played in the championship. So he must count as well.

Another in the same ilk as Jeff Wright was the great Kevin Langley who also was too good for his team mates.
