Stein, "This man scores goals that others merely dream of" Yet another Alan Parry classic

Stein - but we have had better than Stein. In the last 38 years? Bojan,Chamberlain. Any others clearly better? Where did 38 years come from?

Stein for me. Although Fuller was a very special talent albeit often frustrating. Maybe a little unfair to compare them as they were very different players offering different things.

Stein - What an amazing little player. Power, speed and balance in abundance and absolutely no fear of anything in front of him.

Fuller. I am basing this on the fact he propelled us to the Prem and then some. Steino was class but, for us, it was at 3rd tier level(mostly) so it cannot compare. Goooaaarrrnnn Ricardo!

I am too young to have seen Stein, but Fuller would take some beating. This For those of us saying Steino, it should give you an idea as to how good he was. He was a little fella but he was an absolute giant. Scored all types of goals (tap in's, screamers, headers, goals off any part of his body) and rarely, if ever, let us down. Had Lou not left for Celtic and Stein for Chelsea almost within days of each other, that team we had then would have been in the Premier League some 13/14 years before we did actually make it. I wasn't born to see our great team of the 70's but watching Lou Macari's team in the early 90's was an absolute joy, arguably better even than everything we've experienced in the Premier League. We were destined for oblivion back then and we came roaring back courtesy of the genius of two little fella's who were absolute god like giants for our club. For a short while (Middlesborough away, Forest Away, Manure at home) absolutely anything seemed possible as we jet propelled our way back to the big time. In true Stoke fashion, it all came to a shuddering halt in double quick time.

Wow that is such a tough one to call.
Steino was such a superb finisher, you actually expected the net to bulge when the little man got the ball.
Ric was the first player of his type I'd ever really seen at Stoke, a player the opposition were truly shit scared of and that included the best defenders in the country. A maverick, a magician, our talisman and a simply superb footballer.
It's so difficult to choose but I'd just (and only just) go for Ricardo as although Stein scored lots more goals, little Mark was part of a team that created chances under Lou.
Ric was a one man wrecking machine who tore defences a new arse hole with his pace, strength and trickery.
Two absolute gems though.

Loved Ricki, but it's steino hands down for me, met the little man earlier in the season and he turned a 44 year old in to a gibbering wreck. Would love the chance to see him in his prime again.

Steino was a great player for us. His goal at Rotherham was magic, but most of his goals for us were at lower level. Ric scored 50 goals in; Championship FA Cup League Cup Prem Europe Ric didn't just score goals, he created them, so that's what makes him that bit more special than Steino

Had the privilege to see both and love them both for such great memories.
For me it's the golden one, was a fantastic finisher.
Also the theory that he could not do it in the top flight is far from the truth, Steino scored in 7 consecutive matches for Chelsea setting a record at the time.
He did lose his place to a certain Mark Hughes and co.

Totally different players. Stein was a clinical marksman. He could be anonymous for 89 minutes but pop up with a goal or two. He played on the shoulder and rarely missed. Ric could play deeper, pick the ball up and easily beat 3 men. Ric was at his best when by the touch line with apparently nowhere to go then just jink inside 2 men and lay it on a plate. Both fantastic players who we have been lucky to have. This.

As others have stated totally different leagues of course, and look at Steino's record with Chelsea, not very impressive. But as far as impact on Stoke, Steino for me.

Reading that made my vomit lol watching Steino's interview in the tunnel at the Vic after his last match before he left broke my heart on top of Lou going it was a devastating time.

Never saw Stein play, but a lot of the older Stokies speak highly of him so he must have been bloody good because Fuller was fantastic for us. Maybe in a few years it will be Bojan or [Current Stoke player at the time] It's nice that we can share our thoughts on players from different generations, if we were even lucky enough to see them at that time. Wish I could have seen Stein play for us.

I take it all back. His record at Chelsea was ok, all be it short lived. I was thinking of Sheron, who didn't exactly shine when he left us for the lure of the Prem. Mark Stein was never the same after his father, Scottish Manager, Jock Stein passed away. Jock would have been so proud of him, and his brothers....

Steino all day every day for me. Awesome goal scoring machine. Saying that, we have had some decent goal machines all be it at lower level. None a patch on Stein though.

Both were very good at what they did ....steino was just a class act at scoring goals...Ricardo was a striker with swagger both completely different strikers...but there will only be one steino...
