Gregan or Pearson?

[California_PNE]

Few reminiscent threads at the moment and struck me when thinking about talismanic greats that Ben Pearson, for very obvious reasons, is very highly regarded. When a young nobber Sean Gregan was exactly the same for me, I couldn't wait for the weekend to observe this giant of a man dominate a game.

Got me thinking during this downtime an interesting debate could be who was/is better? I'm still forming my opinion, however, let's get stuck in!

Of course they are subtlety different players, but, Gregan or Pearson? Let's have a chat.

Up the whites!

Pearson is a GOAT but Gregan is a true legend.
Pearo is on his way to joining Gregan in the legends category

 

[Benito]

Gregan was an icon. Pearson is a lot more talented. Up to Pearson whether he wants to be remembered.

Pearson is obviously a better player than Gregan was.

I agree with this , but I could easily see Pearson ending up at Leeds or Burnley and then what would we think of him ?

He is, but I used to love Gregans heart and passion...

Gregan for me although Pearo is my current fav player. I remember one game at Deepdale against Fulham with Gregan at centre half and he virtually single handedly won us a point.
The guy was immense and majestic that day.

Pearson is obviously a better player than Gregan was.

No he isn’t
remind me
to date Pearson has achieved what exactly?
good player ? For sure
highly rated by pne supporters? For sure
overacted ? Time will tell

Greegs would have swatted Pearson away like a fly.

I know the argument I would make to counter this but I’m not sure how many Pearo fans it would occur to.

No player since I’ve been watching North End has galvanized and inspired players and fans alike as the big man did.

Gregan.

 

[Wisemen say]

Gregan, strength, stature, tackling, heading, leadership, overall presence on the field, defence or midfield.

Pearson is in the same mould, but Gregan just edges it, because even though he could be a liability he was not as bad as an a liability as Pearson is.

In the same mould?

Who was in there with him?!

It's hard to get pissed off at players for leaving us when all we offer them to stay is a family pack of haribo tangtastic.
