Best Attacking Headers of the ball ever to play for SUFC

[DTS]

Watching Barrys Corrs header yesterday it got me thinking I cant think of many players better at heading the ball goal bounds than Bazza.

In my lifetime I can only really think of Brett Angell as being as good.

I was wondering if anyone else had players that struck them as being really good attacking ariel players from down the years?

Bill Garner and Chris Guthrie were both excellent in the air.

Gary Moore

Exactly who sprung to mind whilst reading DTSs OP

Trevor Whymark - before he played for us.

Gary Moore is probably the closest similarity as he was also often criticised and had a habit of missing the odd sitter.

If you are talking about powerful headers that you had no clue where they would go, my vote goes to Keith Dublin

Was his head the shape of a three-penny bit ?

Leon Cort? Adam Barrett?

Adam Barrett got his head on it most of the time, trouble is they were mostly off target

Peter Silvester and Neil Townsend from the 70s were pretty good too.

has to be either leon cort or shane westley both as good at both ends of the pitch.

I was thinking of Big Shane too, but can't recall him getting that many goals. He did get a crucial one up at Belle Vue on the May Day BH in '88 though.

Blair Sturrock generates some fair old power from the back of his head...

The only thing Westley was famed for was as a body double for Fatima Whitbread, he was marginally more feminine. :omg:

As mentioned, Gary Moore, Bill Garner, Chris Guthrie & Peter Silvester were all pretty good. IIRC Ray Smith and Eddie May weren't bad either.

peter clarke? scored many a header for us.

 

[The Big Shrimp]

Brett Angell scored some great headers for us!

 

[GrumpyBlue]

What about Billy Best - for a little fella he scored lots of headed goals

 

[Kent Shrimper]

Burt Angle for sure

What about Dave Martin?

Gary Moore was a class act very much like Bazza ,but who remembers Frank Haydock i once see him head the ball out the old South Bank
