Glen is first in the midfield
Last updated : 18 June 2005 By Tony Scholes
All the winners have been comfortable winners so far but to say Glen Little was a comfortable winner is something of an understatement. He might not have been fit to tie the laces of Chris Waddle but the former player manager polled just over 2% and finished second.
Glen won a staggering 95% as Waddle, along with Paul Weller, John Oster and Luke Chadwick had to settle for sharing the remaining 5%.
We are just a few months short of nine years since Glen first arrived at Turf Moor from Glentoran and it was in the second half of the 1997/98 (Waddle) season that he first got his chance of a regular place.
He didn’t disappoint and that period for me, along with early in the 2001/02 season, was the best consistent form Glen ever showed for the Clarets. He was a match winner, a crowd favourite, and a fantastic signing by Adrian Heath (who did actually get something right) and there’s no doubt that no one else deserves to take that place from him in this team.
To collect that much of the vote though is staggering, even for Glen.
Tomorrow we move onto the left hand side of the midfield and later in the week we’ll be selecting the first of the central midfielders, with a new look voting method for those two places.
The team so far
