What about the best ITFC dribblers?
No discussion about the best: Franz Thijssen.
What other good Close-control dribblers have we had?
Another Dutchman and a former fireman come to mind.

I'm not sure I can remember any instance of Magilton beating players other than in that semi final with Bolton so I'm a bit surprised to see him mentioned here. |  |

The EU are employing seniors? We're better off out. | |

he carried the ball lovely when on form.
Alan Mahon was another who carried the ball well. |  | | |

Moritz Volz. I'm sure he dribbled for about 100 yards consecutively one game. |  | | |

Our best dribbler was Jimmy Leadbetter.
This discussion is now closed. |
Not by early sixties. He could create space and thread a pass, but dribbling, as in going past people with ball glued to foot can only be Thijssen. | |

Danny Hegan was pretty good. |
Trickery up there with best ever Town players, but dribbling, as in walking past players while hugging the ball, Thijssen has no rivals for me (can only speak from late 50s onwards mind).
Having said that, Colin Viljoen was rather good at it too. | |

My dad always goes on about Sticks Leadbetter, but he was before my time. Jimmy Robertson wasn’t half bad and neither was Micky Lambert in his early years. Frans Thijssen clearly glued the ball to his foot. An extraordinary player. My pick: Clive Woods. Turned the Arsenal full back (Pat Rice?) inside out and backwards all afternoon. |  | | |

That and ‘Arsenal go down to the Woods today’. Never a truer word spoken. I used to love those home made banners on Cup Final day. | | | |

Wasn’t that a newspaper headline after the game rather than a banner at Wembley? | | | |

Thijssen and Petta. Everyone else was just forgetting to pass the ball. |  |

Currie, Petta, KVY, JET on a good day. |  |

In my time;
Magic. His dribble against Bolton in the play-off semi was a piece of art.

Arnie |
Good call on magic. Best technical player of his era (probably!). |  |

Wow shame on you all- not one has mentioned Dalian Atkinson . I was in awe as a youngster watching him take on half a team on numerous occasions. | | | |

Yes,Nigel Gleghorn.
We eventually sold him to Man City! |
Yes, at the time I thought more highly of him than other supporters did. I still think his close control and dribbling skills were of a very high standard. | | | |

I suppose in a way he and some of the other players that were around in the mid to late 1980's suffered in comparison with the quality that had immediately preceded them.
I do not remember having strong feelings either way about Nigel Gleghorn and I think for me he was an ok player in amongst some other ok players.
I think for me personally the stand out players at that time 1985-1988 were probably Mark Brennan and Romeo Zondervan. |  | | |
