    I really liked Siggi.Despite injuries having taken their toll over the years you could still see just what a good footballer he had been/was.Excellent positional sense.Read a game aswell as Davie Narey imo,but the knees had taken a blitzing over the years and he was all to often injured,sadly.

    Wee Paddy C gets my vote though.One of my DUFC heroes as a kid.I mind his debut he scored against Celtic (was it 2 infact ?).He really did look like one of the hottest properties in the UK at that time.Unfortunately his career never reached the heights it had threatened too in those early years.

    Paddy for me too. On form he was electrifying. Ask anyone who was in their teens in the early 90's who their fave Utd player was and I guarantee Paddy will at the top of the list. Him and drunken Duncan were some pairing, with Scott Crabbe and Michael O'Neill wide, Badger and Psycho in midfield. Pretty sure he got injured in the cup final season then broke his ankle early the next season against Celtic and was out for ages. He was never the same player again, losing a yard of pace and also appeared really wary of going into challenges. He was the type of player who took loads of punishment too. A modern day comparison to Paddy in terms of style would probably be Johnny Russell.

    Too much commotion

    Siggi's best game for us.
    20th march 1999
    Rangers 0 Dundee Utd 1 (Olofsson)
    Skoldmark get's sent aff after an hour and big Siggi holds the 10 men solid at the back.

    My choice is Ralph Milne today TEK for no other reason than i just had a few pint with him and unfortunately I've never shared the same pleasure with Siggi or Paddy so for that reason im out. 

    Hear their shout, hear their roar
    They've probably had a barrel of ale and much, much more
    Hooray, hooray, hooray, yeah
    Over the hill went the swords of a thousand men
