Significant Forwards in our History

[KC McElroy]

Which of these forwards do you consider as significant in our soccer history? Vote for as many or as few as you want/know about. If you do not know about all of them, I advise you to look them up instead of blindly voting/not voting for a player. If you feel like I have left out anyone from our pre Melbourne years, or mistakenly listed any of these players as a forward, please let me know.
I will do similar threads using my lists for other positions on the field.

Well as I haven't listed any other criteria in my initial post then I suppose he just isn't significant.

members here are mostly not old enough to remember those players playing.

admittedly, i myself only remember watching Pious, Mohamadkhani, Changiz and Bavi, all of which were stars in the 80s.
I have not seem any other player on that list actually play

among these 4, i think Pious was special. he had a professional attitude. Lots of passion and was a clinical goal scorer.

I doubt any of us (including myself) remember watching Boroomand, Hajari or Shirzadegan as they were active a very long time ago but that doesn't mean we can't find out about them. There are ways besides just being present during their playing days.

I don’t see how anyone who played in an era that achieved absolutely nothing can be considered significant. The players you listed who helped us lift trophies in Asia and scored for us in world cups are of course very significant. Pious is the only one I voted for from the 80s due to his goal to game ratio which is really impressive (even though it was our dark era) and I’ve seen lots of his tapes he was great.

I don’t get this members aren’t old enough, Can’t they just ask their mom/dad, grandmother/grandfather? For example, I’m 17 and I just research on the Internet, YT, forums, etc. Also Hassan Nazari runs an academy near me and I’ve seen him once in the past. Apparently lots of his generation settle/had settled in Texas.

isnt significant?score in champions league, world all time scorer and not significant, that a first for me, he is not significant but farshad pius is significant, i am speechless

All are top forwards but below are the best for me:

Shirzadegan "Pa talaei"
Behzadi "Sar talaei"
Kalani
Iranpak - Best scorer of sharavard
Eftekhari - Dribbled on a tissue
Roshan - Smartest forward in history. Injury and revolution ruined him
Alidousti & Mohammadkhani - Destroyed teams in the 80s
Pious - Knew the goal like his own hand

the poll is not asking the opinions of PFDC member's moms and dads.

anyway, i think the 'love' we have for a player is biased toward when we actually watch them play in TM.

For me, the period between 1996 to 2002 is special because that was when I was absolutely in love with TM and Iranian football. Even fringe players during those years have a special place in my heart.

My least favorite period of Iranian football would be 2006 to 2013 of course and frankly every player in that period is pretty forgettable in my eyes.

I agreed with everything you said but this. You rather mean most players. Javad Nekounam for example is not forgettable. Khalatbari was my most favorite player during that period. I have a difficult time forgetting about him too.

So am I.

[Doctor DOOM]

Significant means a different thing as being talented/skillful.
To me, even a less talented player can leave his mark in history and be SIGNIFICANT.

I hope you didnt mean "talented or ...". I also try to stay away from the brainless red vs blue rivalry or their "fame", and judge individual players' significant role in IRANIAN football, or the era they played.

I'd say ;
Roshan
Alidoosti
Mohamadkhani

George Weah on a national level achieved nothing but nevertheless is a very significant player for Liberians. I think you are considering achievement as national team achievement and not as individual performance. You should consider both.
