After reading the updated ImpsTalk site and the review of the noughties; I have to agree; Gypo was the best player we had at York Street; although Pete Costello remains my favorite player of all time.
Opinions???
-
Emmanuel Gabrielli or Jermaine McSporran

David Noble

Im sorry but how can you choose David Noble over Paul Ellender, i know Noble was a better player but Ellender did much more for us than Noble ever did

I guess it depends what you mean by Player , is it a loyal sold no nonsense basic lower league player or gifted, skillful and talented player wasting his time that disappeared to nothing. I know which Ellender was and I know which Noble was.

This sounds like a thread we had before where some confused best players with favourite players,or what should constitute a "legend".Best player of the decade for me suggests a player who has made a significant contribution,or has had some longevity at the club.Since most of the last decade was played under Evans,longevity was difficult considering his revolving door policy with players.I liked Noble as a player,probably the most gifted I have seen playing for Boston,but for me there are only two real contenders,the Pauls-Ellender and Bastock.

It is easy to see why many are picking Elly but with all due respect to him he could never be compared to Neil Redfern just look at the record books. The only player i can recall seeing playing for the pilgrims with a better pedigree was Kevin Hector (ex Derby and England )
-
Pedigree is not everything. Gazza probably had the best pedigree of the lot but I wouldn't put him in my top ten let alone the best of the decade.
-
Ellender = Player of the decade for me,
Noble = the most skillful

It should probably be one of the "Player of the Year (http://www.bufc.drfox.org.uk/poy.html)" winners:
99/00 Peter Costello
00/1 Joby Gowshall
01/2 Daryl Clare
02/3 Paul Bastock
03/4 Paul Ellender
04/5 Austin McCann
05/6 Alan White
06/7 Mark Greaves
07/8 Jon Rowan
08/9 Adam Millson

David Rennie, a winner, hard as nails, and could play.
-
Bazza for me :)
check the grassy knoll

dont forget Nosher!
The only one to really go onto bigger better things?
Rusky was a good servant to the club as well.

Nosher only just crept into the last decade! Most of his games were pre 2000. He left for Bolton in January 2000, although he did return for his month's loan the following season. So in the last decade he only played 11 games for Boston, scoring 11 goals.

Tom Bennet for me :o

For a significant contribution over a significant part of the Decade, it has to be Paul Ellender.
The only other contender would be Bazza, although I'd put him up more for the Nineties along with Martin Hardy.

A joint award to all the lads who stuck with us to the very bitter end of the McFraud/Sotnick/Robwell era. Not the greatest ever players but for loyalty in the face of impossible working conditions I take my hat off to them.And although not players Craig and Henry for having to put up with the rotten little **** on a daily basis for 3 long miserable years.
