The best football player in history?

Thorn has nothing on the Finch-myster! lol

Lol, always leaves a place in a worst condition than when he first got there!

Thorn was always in the right place, at the right time.
Solid, but nowhere near the best player in history. Maybe in the top 500.

I don't really give a fcuk about Brad Thorn but to diminish his achievements on the basis of 'right place, right time' seems a bit much.

He's played a central role in all of those teams.

He's the kind of hardened leader Easts don't have. I've always thought of him as a Steve Price style of player in terms of the affect he has on team mates.

Probably one of the best records a footy player can have. I just don't think any person in their right mind would even suggest he is the best footballer of all time. Are they the words that were used???? I would say that if they said best record of all time would be closer to the mark!

Steve Price was a pokie playing, aspartame type character who fooled the rugby league world that he was a "nice " guy.

Those that really knew him might say he was a kunt.

I don't mind kunts.

But I don't like kunts who masquerade as merkins.

I was in the boozer last night and some News Ltd journalist near me was waxing about how Brad Thorn is the best footballer player to pull on a jersey, ever.

The big question is what were you doing in a pub near News Journos? I thought there was a 2km exclusion zone in place!

Lionel Messi is the best footballer the world has seen,the way he made Manure Utd look like school boys in the champions league was priceless,so was look on Fergy's face.I only hope I can see Wayne Bennett, look that silly & helpless.

I have no horn for the thorn.

I prefer some other prick as best rather than the prick of the thorn.

Decent player though.
