I love Calderon, not least for the way he changed his mind and shat on Stains/Atkins when they tried to take our prize assets. I’ll never forget our astonishing football at Withdean in those final 2 seasons.
I base my pecking order on our level of football. Veltman’s playing near the summit...
Even when beaten for pace in attacking, he somehow concocts a situation where he’s ‘fouled’ or a muddled scuffle leads to mayhem.
Worth the entrance fee on its own 😀
The best purely defensive RB we’ve had in my 47 years of going. Bruno was a different kind of player, a Ferrari of a RB, a dream for wingers to play with.
The best Albion LB, more than Cuckoorella, was imho Wayne Bridge. Genuinely world class Ashley Cole prevented him winning more than his 36 England caps.
He effortlessly covered ground with ridiculous pace.
Imho, Bruno was perfection going forward and working with his RW. For season after season, what a great career.
At the highest level of EPL (bar CL) Veltman is a brilliant defender.
