Best opposition player seen at hall ?

[shrimpled]

Not at the Hall, and not technically a league game, but James Coppinger’s performance in that League One play off semi final is the best performance I’ve seen from an individual against us.

i was impressed by ronaldo, and rooney, lampard was indifferent and ballack shanked his goal, ..

i never thought much of llalana - when playing for soton - and noble for ipswich was poor ..

 

[gatecrasher]

If we are talking about one person coming to the Hall and completely destroying us that would have to be one Mr Ronald Martin

 

[Tony Allen]

I remember keegan playing for Scunthorpe and thinking he looked useful!

 

[Garyt1969]

Kinkladze or Trundle for their performance. But for what they ended up doing in their careers Ronaldo, Bergkamp and Bale

 

[HudsonNo1]

Best overall has to be Ronaldo...
Best performance is Trundle, hated coming up against him, was a great player on his day

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

Kevin Nolan

 

[Big Bad Barry Corr]

George Best for AFC Bournemouth and Bobby Charlton for Preston North End. Totally at the final stages of their careers but not too many players (at their peak) were better than those two were they? ?️?

You want obscure?
Gerry Francis playing for Exeter City in the 80's, absolutely ran the show in appalling weather and took the **** by spanking in a screamer

Beat you to it -Post 55.

Wouldn't happen these days. Gerry and I were born on the same day in 1951. So in October 1983 he was still just 31 - a former England captain playing in the third division as player manager of a club that had never got above the third tier.

Pure class ….

Ronaldo , but Jimmy Greaves ,Moore ,beckham once visited the Hall

And Mullery and Best

Agree with Trundle and Nugent, Phil Jevons stood out for Yeovil... but the best I saw personally was Gareth Bale for Southampton, when he was actually on his feet rather than diving. Didn't see Ronaldo in the flesh at Roots Hall but he didn't look great on tv. Objectively Bergkamp should have been the best in my lifetime, but I don't remember him having a great game in the friendly, I was only a kid though!

Ronaldo!!

Best performance at the Hall for me was Ashley Cole in the cup replay. He played mostly in front of me for one half down in the left side of the East stand and it was just another level completely. Ballack and Lampard were also standout but the one I always talk about was Cole.

Kalou for me. Just such a classy touch and a great goal and was it two assists? Remember thinking, he’s not even first choice! One of those games you have to hold up your hands and say “fair enough”.

 

[Whispering Bob]

Stanley Bowles.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

Ronaldo was the best player to play at Roots Hall albeit he didn't have the best of games against us...

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Ricky Holmes for Barnet! Scored an absouletley fantastic goal!!

 

[danbowen]

Gotta be an ex player coming back to haunt us and playing like a superstar and scoring the inevitable winner,
