You asked for opinions you got mine,pollitt,my arse :silly:
No….somebody else asked for the names of players who you think are Premier League legends. You’ve not actually suggested a name have you? Because that would involve forming your own opinion and would mean doing something other than repeating or simply disagreeing with what other people say.
I know he was with us before the Prem then left. 1999-2002 =126 games.
However he came back for the Prem 2005-2007 = 52 games.and helped us to establish our roots in our early Prem days.top bloke and legend.Remember going to Halifax in a friendly to see one of boyces first games for us I didn’t think he would still be with us still .but yes he also top bloke and tics legend.
You’re allowed ‘Arry, eaststander. He wasn’t with us in the Championship ;)
arry definately- that tackle on ronaldo in the league match against utd after the carling cup final-superb!
when i think of a legend, i think of someone who gave their all for wigan athletic, there have been a few down the years, but very few during our premier league stint…thats because of the greed and money that the premier league generates…mercenaries after an easy pay day.so im gonna say lee mculloch for starters, not the best player weve ever had, but he made the best of he ability that he did have. a guy that gave 100% and thats good enough for me.
a bit of a controversial one, but im gonna say emile heskey…ridiculed by many, but i think a perfect fit for us. good leader of the line, and THAT performance at sheff utd should get him in on its own….and lets not forget, as a wigan athletic player, got picked for ENGLAND as number 9.
and thirdly, im gonna say emerson boyce..stayed with us when others have left, and still lookin fairly solid enough for a couple more years, does he hold our most appearance record in the premier league?
thats my opinion anyroad.
And a fine opinion it is too. I’d agree with every one of those.
I’d also add Arjan de Zeeuw and Mike Pollitt.
I don’t think Heskey is a controversial choice either. I reckon 9/10 Wigan fans would agree if they’d been there for most of his performances in that season, not just the Sheffield Utd game.
