Putting aside Sunday's game, who do you think has been Fergie's biggest big game player, ever?

The shortlist is there, voting there thankyouplease /Avid

For me, it comes down to a choice of only 3players. two of whom actually play(ed) better in the big games than they did/do in the lesser games of a campaign.


Struggling to pick from the three. Let's see were voting takes us... would be nice to get some reasoning as well!?!

[johno]

For me it came down to


Peter, Rio and Dwight and I'm not even considering Eric or Roy - they are just on another level and everyone else, perhaps save Peter is a mere mortal.

I think its still very early to include Ronaldo and Rooney.

[benni...]

One name that stands out that shouldnt be there IMO... yet is Rooney.

[holytoledo]

It was a toss up for me between Keano and Ole. I went with Ole.

[sdotsom]

Ole.

For me the player that always stood out on the great European adventures was Ryan Giggs. He always seemed to just be electric, particularly his performances against Juventus. Going up a gear I think was the phrased commonly used.

Of more recent years, its definately Ronaldo for me. Man of the match in the FA cup final in his first season, a foreigner here & 18/19 years old, was also impressive against Liverpool at home. Next season he did well against Liverpool again at home, as well as Arsenal at home, and his goals at Highbury drew us level & put us ahead respectively. Man of the match in the cup final as well. Our best and only really threatening player against Milan in the CL, that fantastic run from near the edge of our pen area (I think) right into theirs which Quinny almost scored from stands out, he really took the game to them. Ridiculously subbed at the end of the first leg though This season I think the stand out one has been the Benfica game away.

Case for Schmeichel etc as well, so undecided at the moment.

Interesting enough, if you look at the big games Fletcher has played in, he's been outstanding in quite a few (namely against his bitch Paddy Vieira )

Hughes was always the go to guy on the big occasion; his goalscoring record in semi finals, finals and showpiece events was unparalleled.

[SirManchester]

I'll go with Cantona - It's hard not to. He always provided something in important games, late goals, late equalizers, rallying the team to equalize or win, in important league games, and cup games and even cup finals.

Some more I'd include are Keane, Ole, and Schmeichel.

[bestbecks]

I chose Ole, but only just. Cantona and Schmeichel were both very close to getting my vote. I guess it's just for me that Ole has proven time and time again he can score big goals in big games for us, and he doesn't even need to have played in a full game to have a major impact on it as proven in the 1999 season for example. He always comes out of the dark and wins it for us.

Sparky immediately sprang to mind and that's who I'm sticking with.
