    Sutton.

    With Sutton and Larsson as our forwards we had a European class strike force which was capable of taking on any Euro superclub and quite often win too.

    Excellent thread:50: Very hard question indeed. But would go for

    1. Sutton
    2. Agathe
    3. Hartson
    4. Thompson
    5. Lennon
    6. Balde
    7. Valgaeren

    In that order for me. Valgaeren was excellent for us yet hasn't recieved a vote. Just shows how strong we were back then. Seriously loved that team:shamrock:

    If the question was, who was your favourite of the 7 players in the poll. Then big bobo would be near the top in my selection, simple because of them big sexy slide tackles:50:

    *, this is a hard question.

    Out of all them, it would come down to Agathe, Sutton and Thompson.

    Agathe - a past favourite of mine - and a great servant to have picked up for a paltry £50k from Hibs.

    Thompson - one of the sweetest left pegs I have seen and a true Hunskelper.

    Sutton - think big Sutty just edges it for me. A colossus of an attacker and the perfect foil for Henrik. A great individual player, but also brought out the best in Larsson - so Sutton wins this.

    Value for money, it would be Agathe, but I went for Sutton because he was a class act and complimented Larsson beautifully. You could make an argument for most of those players.

    This pretty much. The three best signing O'Neill made for value and contribution to the team.

    A whopping 57 votes between 1st place Sutty and 2nd place Lenny as it stands, never thought it would be so comprehensive. :50:

    Yeah, hard to believe a holding midfielder who could barely run would edge out a guy that couldn't cross the ball to save himself by three votes ha ha.

    Seriously, Sutton was the man and would be in almost everyone's Celtic Dream team that they had the pleasure to see. Sutton and Larsson were too good.

    Very hard to choose but i picked big bobo balde, he might not have been the best of footballers but he was a rock at the back, loved watching him play as there was very few who could get the better of him and he also chipped in with a few important goals

    Lenny for me. The job he did is still really underrated by a a few supporters. It might not have been eye catching football but he was a vital part of our team. He provided the platform for the rest of the players to bomb forward knowing that Lenny provided the defensive protection. Sutton and Thommo not far behind though. *, what a team man that was man. The period where I properly fell in love with Celtic

    Obviously not the best player out of the bunch but it has to be Lenny for me

    Purely for his continued impact
