I always loved Leighton when I was a kid.

 

Leighton was always my favourite Aberdeen player.  Mind watching him at Motherwell or St mirren when I was a wee prick , and he was saving the ball with his face, and was devastated when a goal was scored against him. Mind him smashing his fists off the pitch in frustration in a total rage and it just really impressed me that desire.

 

So there.

As a primary school kid it would be Eoin Jess, only really managed to see him in his 2nd spell but would be a bright spark in what was a very shit team and era for us (1997 - 2000, depressing Aitken/ Alex Miller/Skovdahl teams).

 

Best memory is him scoring against the Huns from an in direct free kick and diving into the crowd where we were sitting and going apeshit.

 

Honourable mention to Zero ana.
