    Derek Hales without a doubt. Some great goals but he best was the goal of the season he scored on the volley 40 yds out still one of the best ever seen on tv

    Simonsen for us
    Peter Knowles against us

    But I'll change my mind tomorrow

    Giggs. Ronaldo was trying to showboat but looked like he couldn't handle the physical side of things lol and started diving.

    For us, Leaburn...Won everything in the air and looked so comfortable with the ball, Always thought he was going to score.

    Paul Walsh, brilliant in his short time with us, he had everything control, passing, tackling, heading, never fulfilled hide true potential imo.

    Mark Schwarzer when he made his debut for Bradford. Back in 1996 I think. Never seen a keeper performance like it.

    Thought this might be about Ugg boots again!

    Henry or Ginola for me. I remember with Ginola Curbs had to sub on Shaun Newton just to try and keep up with him.

    I remember that Giggs shot - It is the sort of moment when you just admire the genius of it. I do remember watching George Best in a testemonial -could have been Les Berry's but not sure. His career was well over but he was awsome. Henry definitely up there too. As for ours- in the gifted department - I must admit I always liked Claus Jensen and we did have Di Canio for a season.

    Youri Djourkaeff was always stunning against us, I'm sure he scored on every visit to The Valley.

    Interesting thread this one with loads of choices down the years but the majority during our premiership halcyon days when some of the best players in Europe graced the Valley. Plus of course you can only vote for those players of your era. However it is easy to confuse 'Best' with 'Favourite'. Killer was one of my favourites but for sublime skill I stick by my earlier vote for Simonsen 9 goals in 16 league appearances, a 5000? crowd for his first match in a Charlton shirt in a midweek reserve game and as someone has already said previously he played his foorball like a game of chess and was three passes ahead of any other team mate.

    Bergkamp, just to see him was a real treat.  Yes he never played a blinder, say like he did against Leicester, but he showed a bit of everything...  I think the day Viera got sent off. 

    Really liked Youri Djourkaeff, but the Bolton sides he played on were universally atrocious.  When he scored at the Valley, we were bad, but it was a surprise such an awful team could score such an apt goal of shite.

    Really for true performance, and I really disliked him then, it was Van Persie.  As for Berbatov whilst his goal against us was wonderful, his whole performance that season at WHL completely dominates for me, that and any season we had in the prem.

    best player I've seen play at the valley - Thierry Henry

    Not Giggs - lost my respect when he decided not to bother playing for his country if it was cold or wet.

    Best team I saw at The Valley was Arsenal, Henry etc. Seemed they couldn't put a pass wrong for 90 minutes.

    Giggs and Zola.

    Firmani for CAFC

    Kenny Dalglish was one of the best. I am pretty sure he played in the friendly at The Valley. Can anyone remember the score though? I seem to remember we didn't do too badly - was it 1-1 or 1-2?
