Favourite Players

So drinking at the Nelson pre-match today my mates asked me my favourite (not best) players in the years I have supported the club. This from goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward.

This was my choice:

Goalkeeper: Graham Benstead
Defender: Ethan Pinnock (followed close by Rico and Terry Evans)
Midfielder: Terry Hurlock
Forward: Gary Blissett (followed close by Clayton Donaldson)

What are yours?

I think Janelt will be near the top for me. Such a Brentford signing, and whilst never a superstar, he never lets us down

GK: Stuart Nelson
DEF: Ethan Pinnock
Mid: Jay Tabb/Norgaard
Att: Donaldson

Goalkeeper: Nathan Abbey
Defender: Pontus Jansson

Oof, hard question.
Kind of like films, I don't have a favourite as such. Just ones that marked certain points in my career as a Bees fan

First Bees hero was Steve Phillips.
Then Terry Evans
Martin Grainger
Romaine Sawyers
Ollie
Now it's Boomo

Most talented ive seen was Benrahma

I started to write my fav player in each position but realised that a) it was almost impossible to choose between certain players and b) it made me look ridiculously "new Brentford"! Trouble is that I honestly feel that there are so many of the squad from the last 2 or 3 seasons that could be regarded as anyone's 'favourite player'. You could literally make a case for any of the starting line up from the first PL season; not only were they our best players of a generation (arguably ever) but they're so down-to-earth, hard-working and likeable.

Also, having settled on Vita, I had to overlook Jensen, Norgaard, Benrahma, Mbeumo, Tabby, Judgey, Jota, Gayle, Smillie, Mahon, Hunt, Bean, Sergi....I could go on.

So, I've gone for a top 3 in each position:

Raya, Dearden, Chesney
Rico, Ethan, Ivar
Vita, Jensen, Mbeumo
Taylor, Maupay, Ivan

Favourite players. Not ability-wise, but players I loved to watch play.

McKellar
Herman H- fist signing that made me think we could be bigger club.
Stan Bowles- even at that stage of career was still different class. And a real character.
Joseph/Mahoney- happy childhood memories.

So many.
Paul evans scored MY first ever brentford goal and what a goal it was.
Tabb was the name on the back of my first brentford kit
Then i just have very fond memories of owusu, paul smith, sodje, rankin, alex rhodes before he got obliterated.

In recent times jota, benrahma, canos, jensen,pinnock, maupay. Sooo many
 

Favourite Players

Again too many to mention .. but Roger Cross from many years back.
In recent history Sam Saunders, Jota & Ivan Toney .. but one controversial nomination .. Emiliano for scoring our most memorable goal ever.

So many to choose from.

Andy Sinton will always be right up there for me. I may be wrong as the memory is fading slightly, but didn't he only miss one game in 5 seasons?

But there are many many more right up there.
