Exactly what we knew already - that Roderick Grant was, is, and always will be, The Legend. Barely had voting been declared open than it became clear that what we had on our hands was a one horse race. With each fan being given the opportunity to vote for their top three players of the 90s, almost every vote received had a mention for Roddy somewhere, and invariably it was for all three stars. Such was the scale of the landslide victory that second-placed Sergei Baltacha, the classy Russian sweeper who graced McDiarmid Park during the stadium's early years, finished a full 179 stars behind Roddy's amazing 423 star haul! It seemed poetic justice that the ever-popular Saintees frontman had his efforts for the club recognised in such a way by the club's supporters, particularly as season 1999/2000 saw Roddy take part in a well deserved testimonial. The figures of The Legend's career speak for themselves - top scorer in 1998/99 despite often having to be content with a place on the bench, he earned himself a new contract and was fittingly part of the squad that played in Monaco in the UEFA Cup on his 33rd birthday. In two spells as a Saintee, a Perth career which was interrupted only briefly by spells with Dunfermline and Partick Thistle, Rodders managed to net 79 times from 221 starts and 64 substitute appearances. Despite the clear-cut victory for Rod The God, there was rarely a dull moment in the voting as supporters from all across the globe had their say on who should pick up the accolade. Highlights included votes for Swedish nightmare "striker" Peter Fhyr, the amazing number of fans who voted for players from outwith this decade such as Henry Hall (try reading the rules next time, folks!), and one mentallist who used the entry form to vote for the Eurovision Song Contest! So, without any further delay, here is the complete list of the players YOU voted for and the number of stars each one received: Read our interview with Roddy here. # Player Stars 1 Roddy Grant 423 2 Sergei Baltacha 244 3 George O'Boyle 183 4 Alan Main 133 5 John O'Neil 127 5 John O'Neil 127 6 Paul Wright 126 7 Steve Maskrey 107 8 Paul Cherry 81 9 Callum Davidson 54 10 Alan Kernaghan 41 11= Allan Moore 38 11= Jim Weir 38 12 Allan Preston 37 13 Nick Dasovic 22 14 Miguel Simao 21 15 John McQuillan 19 16 Phizzy Scott 16 17 Billy Dodds 15 18= Paul Kane 10 18= Attila Sekerlioglu 10 20 Harry Curran 9 21 Andy Rhodes 8 22 Stuart McCluskey 7 23= Lindsay Hamilton 5 23= John Balavage 5 23= Vinny Arkins 5 23= Leigh Jenkinson 5 23= Nathan Lowndes 5 28= Sammy Johnston 4 28= Mark Treanor 4 28= Don McVicar 4 28= Gunni Torfason 4 32= Kevin Twaddle 3 32= Davide Xausa 3 32= Danny Griffin 3 32= Kieran McAnespie 3 32= Darren Dods 3 32= Tommy Turner 3 38 Paddy Connolly 2 39= Peter Fhyr 1 39= Steve Tosh 1 39= Gerry McMahon 1 Top of pageEmail © 2004 Blue HeavenHosting by codeplacidly.comDesign by B.E.F.
