People keep mentioning tinman don't get me wrong had a wand of a left foot in open play. But free kicks and corners... I remember years and years of bugger all goals from corners and free kicks. I do remember some good free kick takers but I would never mention tinman in the same breath as them... He scored a few but he never genrated the pace to be a good free kick taker.

Direct free kick taker Bell, Bernard and Walsh in my life time. Creativity I would go with Freeman.

Spot on, Tinnion was excellent making those long diagonal passes for Murray to run onto and................

Disagree with people that say Tinnion. We hardly ever used to score from corners when he was taking them, the way he used to float them in was a lot easier for teams to defend against than it is with Freeman's whipped in corners - by far the best at corners in my 20+ years of a supporter.

 

Free kicks, probably Micky Bell. And penalties, Bell and Barnard never missed.

i saw mann and hunter wallop balls in. will never forget the time norms boot went with the ball.only thing i cant decide is who hit it sweeter. both could fire cannonballs. jet had the best placement for tho,ok,not dead balls,but he put it where he wanted to strike it from so as good as in my book.
