Seen it was nakamuras birthday today who is everyone's favourite free kick taker they have seen for our club there have been seem amazing dead ball specialists down the years from John Collins PvH Di canio larsson maloney mulgrew VVD and commons

Kris Commons is not a dead ball specialist lol think he's scored one free kick and that was a deflection against Dundee Utd if IIRC. Reluctant to put Mulgrew there as well think he scored a few early when he came here against Motherwell, Hibs and Sion but he's not been consistant at them over the years at all. VVD isn't bad at them and I feel pretty confident when he steps up for them he's got great technique definitely the best free kick taker at the club imo atm although Griffiths showed at Hibs he can ping a few.
Agree with the rest of those names although Petrov, Alan Thompson and wee Lubo were great FK and deadball takers.
Nakamura though takes the best for best dead ball specialist for me though and doubt he will ever be beaten. Best Free kick and dead ball taker inn the world imo at one point. Immensely accurate.

Suppose your right about commons mate lol.my top 3 are
3 Thompson
2 larsson
1 nakamura
24 Jul 2015 19:15:46
I think I would have wee Murdo in there somewhere.
24 Jul 2015 19:39:34
I remember big Pierre's 2 for Feyenoord against the filth very well.
24 Jul 2015 20:04:17
Stokes has to be up there too?
Scored 1 against Killie and thinks he is now a specialist!
24 Jul 2015 20:12:04
Has to be LUBO??
24 Jul 2015 20:32:51
Has to be naka for me! His free kick against Manchester United will live long in the memory!
24 Jul 2015 21:13:36
PVH for me
24 Jul 2015 22:00:33
Naka not only the best dead ball specialist for the hoops but one of the best I've seen in the game
24 Jul 2015 23:22:50
Although Tommy Gemmell could fairly whack a free kick.
24 Jul 2015 23:25:22
Surely has to be naka, followed by lubo, then Thompson . Larsson my hero but free kicks he's not at that level. Similar to his penalties as well.
25 Jul 2015 01:19:19
Pee--air there's only one Pee--air
There's only one Pee--air!! Greatest in my time you knew it was a goal.HH thommyj
25 Jul 2015 02:50:56
cant believe only one person has said lubo, does nobody else remember the right foot straight over to the left foot at motherwell? I'm not talking about the corners he done regularly, he pinged a right footed shot off the bar then we got another freekick about 40secs later and he hit with his left which the keeper pulled off a decent save. just me ok lol
25 Jul 2015 12:02:34
Big shuggy dwodwyck could fair whack them I liked john Collins though
Not only free kicks but his general set peice play
The one at Celtic park v rangers was inventive and deadly
Jc naka pvh
Did chrissy Morris have a rep can remember a few cracking strikes by him not sure if it was dead ball though
25 Jul 2015 17:55:42
Naka's goal vs United was the best free kick in memory, and more importantly, the most decisive. Was that the year we made it out of qualifying? Anyway, we got to slack off half the world footballing support for months on that one.
25 Jul 2015 18:44:16
Pierre for me. Then lubo then naka. Henke's not even close, ad put Maloney above him for free kicks.
