    Who has been your favourite Celtic player from each decade of you being a Celtic supporter?

    70s- Dalglish..the reason I first became interested in Celtic Football Club

    80s- Nicholas.....tough decision this one as we had some great players in the 80s, especially in the centenary team but Nicholas was absolutely immense in his first spell with us.

    90s- Paul McStay...pure class of a player who stuck by us through some of the most difficult times in our history.

    00s- Larsson....no explanation needed.

    Now- Ledley....a 100%er who I think we dearly miss when he's not in the team.

    Thats mine...who are yours??

    Born in 1997 so I'll just do the 2000s and this decade.

    2000s - Larsson (Best Celtic Player Ever, & No Question My Favorite.)

    Now - Samaras (Met him and is just a class player when he's on his game.)

    *Good Question Btw*

    Born in 1991, I will go for 90's onwards though, even though I was quite young.

    90's, Di Canio (not here long I know, but when you spray your boots gold, because his were that colour, clearly shows he had an effect on me) Just a pity he wasn't here longer, because there can be no doubting his football ability. Shame about other aspects however.

    00's, Larsson, I won't bother explaining why, it's fairly obvious.

    Now, between Lustig or Ledley. Both very consistent players for us, and two players who I think have taken to the club very much, even though they come here with no connection. Love seeing that happen with players.

    For me I go with the Maestro as my favourite Celtic player for both the 80's and the 90's. Larsson for the 00's and currently its Joe Ledley.

    70's - Jinky. He taught me how to cross the road.
    80's - Tommy Burns. Quite simply lived and breathed Celtic.
    90's - Paul McStay. Could have gone on to better, chose to stay and grace us with his brilliance.
    00's - Larsson. No explanation needed.
    10's - Sammy. He's, quite rightly, had his critics. But he has got his head down and worked. Now the first name on our team sheet.
