    without a doubt pvh was all about power naka's are about pure quality.Nakamura's price would have gone up massive amounts just on his freekick ability in the CL + the image rights from japan will make naka the most sought after player in europe.Move over juninho (lyon) the freekick King is about to be crowned

    Naka is most likely the best.

    Nakamura has the best technique but Lubo, Thompson and Collins have all given us more great free kick moments. Hopefully Naka can surpass these greats

    Naka's goal on Tuesday probably goes down as the best free kick for me. But in terms of free kick taker I think I would have to give the edge to PVH over Naka and Lubo.

    JC, Thompson, Provan and Larsson all gave us all some great memories with some great free kicks but I would have to go for PVH as #1

    Van Hooijdonk scored more goals from free kicks than any of the 3 you've mentioned.

    In fairness Big Pierre was * hot - even though he really improved AFTER leaving us. Did Tommy Gemmell not hit free kicks? He had a belting shot on him.

    I'd vote for John Collins though, because he's my favourite ever Celt and those two beauties he hit at mordor won us games I'll never forget.

    All i remember is our friend Lorenzo handing us the title by doing dodgy passbacks every game and ripping the ball from Jorge "the hammer" Albertz at freekicks and punting into row Z. Surely a place in the Celtic hall of fame must be his? A true Celtic legend.
