A Significant Historical TM Lineup

[KC McElroy]

Other than Abedzadeh and Eski none of yours deserve to be In this thread.....maybe Parvin too but that’s about it. Having anyone from the dark ages of the 80s and early 90s where we couldn’t even make it to the final phase of qualifying is all that needs to be said to eliminate anyone from that era from being in the convo. 70s and late 90s/mid 2000s is where our legends come from

Well obviously those PFDC members who voted in the polls listed in the first post of the thread disagree with you. With your post above you are also contradicting yourself when you spoke about this exact poll and the vote you cast:

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.

Also look at the criteria that was stated in the thread (links in the first post of this thread) for each position on the field which eliminates anyone from late 90s/mid 2000s.
You are mentioning Eski which if I am not mistaken you know personally from his store. That kinda tells me your opinion is biased. Other than yourself I doubt the approximately 30 PFDC members who voted personally know any of the players they voted for.

Here are the links to the other threads regarding our past players:

I still believe the results are somewhat biased towards newer players or those that made more of a name even if it wasn't completely due to their soccer activities. Clearly if one has not heard of a player they would not be familiar with them and thus not vote for them. But with that being said, here is the 4-4-2 lineup we would have if our opinions on our past players are any indication of their significance.

Abedzadeh
Eskandarian, Shahrokhi, Arab, Zarrincheh
Ghelichkhani, Parvin, Ghayeghran, Danaeifard
Roshan, Pious

I knew Abedzadeh would win before a single vote was cast as probably most PFDC members only know Hejazi by name and have not even heard of the rest.
I'm surprised about Eskandarian because although I thought he was very good but I did not expect him to receive the most votes and I think it's somewhat of a name recognition that earned him the votes. As far as outside backs I personally rank Moharrami higher than Zarrincheh as he was excellent in defense and just as good coming up and helping offense (and scoring goals). Perhaps his temper cost him some votes. Or perhaps Zarrincheh's presence in the 1998 World Cup earned him some.
In midfield Ghelichkhani is definitely an expected choice. Parvin while good but isn't as far ahead of others (if at all) than the results show and it's perhaps somewhat influenced by his reputation and constant involvement in soccer after his playing days. There may or may not be the closer time frame and sympathy factor due to his death regarding Ghayeghran's inclusion.
Roshan and Pious are the top vote getters up front although there are many forwards that were just as good if not better. I suppose the best measure for a forward is the number of goals he scores and all of the mentioned ones definitely excel in that category.
While we all probably have our own opinion about who should have won each of these polls, what they demonstrate is what a deep pool of players we have had in our history. Hopefully we will learn more about them and as the years pass they will not be forgotten. I personally learned about other players that I had omitted by older members who informed me about them.

This is a perfect addition to this thread. It agrees with all of our picks.

I would add 2 notable players from PAS into the starting lineup:

Hossein Kazerani, the great Pas defender who was considered to be the WALL, should be added to the list. Played for TM in 1978 WC and won championships with PAS, 2 years in a row. I would replace Arab with Kazerani as a central defender. Also, Sadeghi was an absolute beast and showed it in the '78 WC. As a persepolis fan, I always respected Pas. Always a solid team and for a few years the best club in Iran.


For subs, I would add khordbin, Kalani and Adelkhani. Adelkhani being one of our few legionnaires at that time

Well I didn't pick any of the players myself. These are the ones who received the most votes from PFDC members.

I like Abedzadeh but I'm really surprised he's picked over Hejazi.

[Iranianarsenal11]
