Ulloa.

 

Those goals against Swansea, Norwich and West Ham were monumental.

Don't lose your head.

I like calling them 'The Unbelievables' as i think Derek Bevan's book is the best one i've read about that season.

And contribution was ? 

More minutes, more starts and the same goals / assists combined amount as King.

Don't think I've ever gone so mental celebrating a goal when Ulloa stuck that one in against West Ham so it has to be him

He was great at holding the ball in the corners during stoppage time when we were clinging on in those 1 nils (with Claudio waving his arms around ).

 

That said, Leo was the best at that.

 

Heady days. Time of our lives.

oh god, please dont let that ' The Immortals title stick' it makes me grind my teeth out of embarrasment.

Too late, The Immortals has already stuck.

 

Completely appropriate in my opinion.

 

I think of moments from that season everytime I climb the stairs in the West Stand. Our generation were so privileged to have witnessed it.

That wasn't his plan tho.

 

That was just his 1st touch

Got to be Ulloa. 

 

How he took that penalty v West Ham is beyond me, I still get nervous when he steps up to take it now.

Ulloa.

 

Scored loads of big goals for us, not just that year but the year before. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves to be honest.

The free clappers,and shaky tv gantrie!!!

[ThaiFox]

How about this for a slightly offbeat vote for best of the rest.....?

 

Richie De Laet. That goal against Villa started the fight back from us being 0-2 down. (Plus it helped get Captain Bellend the sack shortly after!)

 

Seriously though...has to be Ulloa. Stepped up when needed and his defensive work when coming on as sub is often overlooked.

[SheppyFox]

Leo has scored a lot of important goals for us

The Swansea game is probably my favourite game of all time. The feeling in the stands was nothing id ever felt before, pure nerves.. fully packed but a strange quiet around the place pre-match. We had that feeling that we could 'do a Liverpool' and slip at the final hurdle. Our star striker banned  after a game that felt like the officials were against us, a feeling the media would love for us to trip up and the stage was set for a us to prove to them that we were just a 3 man team. Then Leo steps up, with a performance that he always seemed to come up with when we really needed it.... He may not be everyone's immortal but I know that memory is firmly cemented in my head.
