Chris Sutton - Legend.

Marcello Lippi couldn't believe that he wasn't considered a first choice pick for England after Sutton rag dolled his defence in 2001. And he was an evil genius.

Defenders hated him, had that edge that we are sorely missing. Worked his socks off every game and by all accounts loved his time up here. Not quite a legend but won't be forgotten easily.

Considering retirement Posts: 8,230 Group: Snr. Member Member #24,362 Joined: 29 August 2009 Favourite all-time player Henrik Larsson	He was a top, top class player. Not sure about legendary status, though.

Getting on a bit Posts: 5,286 Group: Snr. Member Member #5,300 Joined: 30 October 2006	Just awesome. Larsson adored playing with him, every defender feared him. Top player, vastly under rated down south after his Chelsea debacle, but his services to Blackburn and Norwich are beyond question.

^^^^ man love, pure and simple man love!! Posts: 1,138 Group: Members Member #30,765 Joined: 6 March 2012 Favourite all-time player Chris Sutton Hun Skelper!	sutton was immense, my favourite player at the time even though henrik was in the team lol. i think the fact larsson was with us at the time took away from how good sutton actually was, henrik got, quite rightly 95% of the limelight. If he had not been there sutton would more than likely have got the praise and adulation instead. as im only 30 they were the 2 best strikers and partnership i have seen in the hoops, both of them legends in my eyes.

Older than dirt Posts: 32,041 Group: Snr. Member Member #1,715 Joined: 28 July 2005	This thread pops up about twice a year. For me, the most important signing we made in years. He is a legend. Larsson was a better player but Sutton was incredibly important in bringing a big ego, arrogance and self belief to the club and that carried us up higher than we'd been in the years before or since he left. An incredibly important and talented player. Probably my favourite Celt of the modern era.
