    It was a toss-up between the two welshmen for me, but I chose John.

    My favourite is John Hartson. However i think Scott Mcdonald has the potential to be scoring a lot more than Hartson did so i've voted Scott.

    Aliadiere and Camara won't be getting too many votes ;)

    I'd have voted for Skippy but he's only been her a season and I think John contributed more to Celtic (as he was here much longer).

    The vote is on a knife-edge between the two big guys Sutty & BBJ. I voted for Sutton, was a * of a player for us. Master at holding the ball up and was the "better" partner for Henrik. I always thought Henrik played better alongside Sutton than he did with Hartson as his partner.

    The first thing Sutton said when he arrived.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    "I am here to put Rangers in there place"<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    The guy was a legend and true to his word. Attitude, aggression, ability and a will to win Sutton’s presence on a football pitch lifted all around him the guy was infectious pure class.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Some of the others contributed and had qualiy no doubt but for me Sutton wins by a country mile.<o:p></o:p>

    either Sutton or BBJ liked both of them, although they both had different strong points to their games. :50:

    &
    Derek Riordan

    just aren't good enough to make that list...

    hmmm hard one.

    john hartson was the best finisher/ target man
    sutton the best player
    skippy very close to a mix of both but has only had one season so abit unfair to say him?
    jvoh, MASSIVELY underrated - but in their primes i'd still take bbj or sutton
    bellamy, brilliant but not here long enough to claim a title like that.

    what is the question exactly?
    best overall forward player or best goal scorer ?

    immense he was ,kenny dalglish said of him ,he is a great allrounder ,and actually thought that sutton was better at centre half ,he did a couple of times at celtic ,then midfield ,but upfront he was brilliant ,his awareness of his partner was allways spot on , he made alan shearer the player he was ,they 2 gelled brilliantly ,and of course ,him and henrik were magic ,im not sure what his strike rate was like at celtic ,he wasnt as prolific as a goal scorer as hartson ,so on that i went for hartson ,but footballer chris sutton was a perfect foil for any partner he had ,and as a all rounder ,theres not many who could do what he could, :50:
