As far as I'm concerned, Salako and McGoldrick were equal to Wilf. Probably Hilaire too. Watch the shift McGoldrick put in on any replay. He literally never stopped. That's not part of the current game.
Wilf is a good player - very skillful. Probably the most skillful player we've ever had, Hilaire is the other close one there. But best is totally different. Probably Sansom.

Red and Blue Army!

Loved watching him,any idea where his nick-name Spider came from ?

Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

First game 1976 for me, best/GOAT XI in that time IMO;

Martyn
AWB, Cannon (C), Southgate, Sansom
Hilaire, Nicholas, Francis, Wilf
Bright, Wright

I’m was bit torn on Gilbert in place of Southgate, then Thomas for Nicholas and also Lombardo and Hilaire.

Also wanted to find a place for Murphy - loved “Spud” - wand of a left foot..!!

Tarantula on the face? Some other old b@stard help me out here???

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Is the right answer.To quote from Nigel Sands’ book Player by Player Since 1960 (published in 1996):

“Tall, gaunt and pale, the angular Rachid appeared to be all arms and legs when moving at speed, so was quickly nicknamed ‘Spider’ by his team-mates, a soubriquet happily adopted by our fans.”
