I’m no Liverpool fan but it really isn’t the same thing and if I am speaking out of turn I apologise, but as a Liverpudlian this really hit a nerve. http://www.contrast.org/hillsborough/ I realise this thread is a few days old, I’m sorry for responding so late, I don’t check this board everyday, but for someone who a few days ago claimed to be a (Norwegian) Liverpool fan to mention Hillsborough in the same sentence as Hooliganism and Heysel is staggering.

He's not even the best United player (Roy Keane obviously). Dennis was definitely better and more influential on Arsenal than maybe any other player has been on a top team in the league. As much as you lot'll hate me for saying this though - I think Henry should probably have won it. I follow United and even I think that’s a bit of a joke.

From the country that gave us Hooliganism, Heysel and Hillsborough? You are asking way too much. Bergkamp was pure class, never made much noise but let his football do the talking. He made a lot of EPL fans appreciate the Dutch style. He was awesome. I never saw him karate kick any fans in the stands, but I guess in order to make a name for yourself in the EPL you have to do that. Dennis was pure class, still is, and I hope he continues with his plans of coming back as a coach. The game needs class acts like him. Not thugs like Cantona. Class and dignity?

Besides, I'm pretty sure we all know who the Queen would pick...

And if Henry was nominated I can't understand why Ruud wasn't? I mean when they both played in the Premier league they always fought for the best scorer of the league.

Good one Jan! And that's a great video too (the embedded video's are a great new addition). Most of the voters must have been Mancunians... “Probably used a karate kick to overturn the judges, while Dennis sat quietly in the corner with a cup of tea, caressing the ball… Softly, sweetly…”
