Bill Nicholson (36 years at the club as player and manager) Danny Blanchflower (voted our greatest ever player) Jimmy Greaves (leading goalscorer) Then I'm torn between a safe Steve Perryman (most appearances) and a controversial Daniel Levy (for securing the future of the club with a new stadium and Champions League football). The latter is probably a touch premature and could backfire hideously, of course. Perryman it is. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: Tal on June 06, 2016, 07:46:46 PM Oh and for my nominated addition:
WWE/WWF Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: AdamM on June 06, 2016, 08:13:29 PM Rock guitar legends

Nasty boyzzz - the best combined mullets in the history of sport. Legion of doom - brutal operators Natural disasters - tug boat and earthquake proper old school wrestlers British Bulldogs - roid monsters like the rest of them in that era but great to watch My nomination topic - NBA players since 1990. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: PokerBroker on June 07, 2016, 12:29:34 AM Goalscorers:
Romario - probably one of the greatest I ever seen, clinical and was always my number one signing on Championship Manager italia back in the Amiga days. Henrik Larsson - the greatest Celtic goal machine I ever watched. Alan Shearer - clinical, selfish and not many histrionics. Marco Van Basten - absolute class and we were robbed os his best years I feel. Category Nomination - Football Stadiums With the best atmosphere. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: baldock92 on June 07, 2016, 04:29:16 AM NBA players since 1990:
Michael Jordan- The absolute GOAT. No explanation needed. Kobe Bryant- A beast in the modern era; 5 nba titles, >33,000 points, unbeatable on his day. Tim Duncan- Still playing, entering his 20th season, solid forward who consistently put in top performances for the Spurs. Will he ever retire? Who knows. Shaquille O'Neal- During his peak he was the greatest defensive player I've seen, not so hot on free throws but I'll let him off, especially if it means keeping lebron out this list. Category nomination: Best golfers of all time. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: The Camel on June 07, 2016, 09:39:55 PM Golfers:
Tiger Woods GOAT Jack Nicklaus The GOAT if Tiger was never born Seve The GOAT to watch Bobby Jones Bit before my time, but everything I've heard him suggested a class player and even classier man. Category nomination: poker players who play the game in the right spirit. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: I KNOW IT on June 07, 2016, 10:09:47 PM Eric Seidel. Stood the test of time and always seems to carry himself very well
Chip Reese : Arguably the best poker player to live. It was a pleasure to watch him win the Players Championship with his son present and seemed to want to win it as much for his son as himself . Ben Roberts : Class act and I don't think I have heard a bad word spoke about him tikay : just for the reason that he was born the year when the original 4 went up . My category is British Boxers Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: muckthenuts on June 07, 2016, 11:49:53 PM Rappers active since 2000:
Eminem: No questions about his inclusion, his first few albums alone earned him the spot Kendrick Lamar: Relatively new to the scene but is standing out miles beyond the rest right now. Will be a rap legend. Jay Z: Nobody has bigger status, money or relevance than him Nas: Best lyricist in the game and firmly stood the test of time Category Nomination: Characters of "The Simpsons" which must not be any of the 5 family members :) Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: david3103 on June 08, 2016, 12:25:58 AM Controversially, Manchester City icons of postwar years.
Colin Bell Bert Trautmann Malcolm Allison Joe Mercer I nominate hhhhyyyyyyffffffffltr to pick a Manchester United set. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: Tal on June 08, 2016, 08:13:15 AM Category Nomination: Characters of "The Simpsons" which must not be any of the 5 family members :) Rather than necessarily my favourite characters, this is the Mount Rushmore that would be actually in Springfield, if there were an episode where Mount Springfield got carved: Ned Flanders (we want this to be a monument and so a moral focal point. What better example of morality than Nedward Flanders Jr?) Charles Montgomery Burns (Loyal resident, massive job provider and...well...someone's got to pay for this thing) Troy McClure (Springfield's most successful actor. You might remember him from various episodes such as Bart the Mother and the 138th Episode Spectacular. Now retired, he did marry half the town and still keeps up his maintenance payments. A shoe in) Herschel Krustovski aka Krusty the Clown (a strange choice but I can explain: Lisa thought this would be a great opportunity to recognise and remember jazz legend Bleeding Gums Murphy, so she set about getting a petition across all the residents to include him. Having persuaded, cajoled, even blackmailed her neighbours to sign, she foolishly let her brother hand it in for her, after he agreed to sign it too (awwww). He of course did what he had to do.) Meanwhile, from a cell in Springfield Penitentiary, Sideshow Bob looked on with disgust. Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: Sheriff Fatman on June 08, 2016, 08:26:01 AM Category Nomination: Characters of "The Simpsons" which must not be any of the 5 family members :) Apu Nahasapeemapetilon - Greatest surname ever Montgomery Burns - he'd need to fund it, and he'd insist on his head being there at least once Shary Bobbins - best death in the Simpsons (sucked into a jet engine as she floated away on her umbrella) Sideshow Bob - for bringing the long-running cross-over with Frasier characters into the Simpsons Specifically excluded: Principal Skinner - headmaster of a school where every pupil has repeated the same year 25 times Category Nomination: Tennis players of either sex (based on the current Djokovic discussion) Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: The Camel on June 08, 2016, 10:55:31 PM I've gone with the most aesthetically pleasing to watch tennis players
Miroslav Mecir - not nicknamed "The Cat" because he pisses in your shoes Roger Federer - the backhand to die for Justine Henin - the all around game to die for Martina Hingis - just to die for. Category nomination: Vegas hotels Title: Re: Your personal Mount Rushmores Post by: Karabiner on June 08, 2016, 11:23:44 PM I've gone with the most aesthetically pleasing to watch tennis players Miroslav Mecir - not nicknamed "The Cat" because he pisses in your shoes Roger Federer - the backhand to die for Justine Henin - the all around game to die for Martina Hingis - just to die for. Category nomination: Vegas hotels Points deducted for lack of Anna Kournikova. Do you remember the time Ms Kournikova was promoting a sports-bra with the slogan "only the balls bounce" and a male streaker pranced across the court where she was playing, possibly at Wimbledon, totally starkers with "only the balls bounce" written in capital letters on his torso, and an arrow pointing down underneath. |
