Has to be Sean Friars right now in the EL.
The only problem is that we dont get many free's near the edge of the box :(
Russell was excellent for the past few seasons but over the last 15 years in the EL maybe the one and only Liam Coyle might be up there with the best of free kick takers.
ah the majority of opinions here are too biased , i go for marc kenny-always got a bad feeling when rovers got a free in a dangerous position against us
Best I've ever seen is Van Hooijdonk. His percentage of goals to frees is so far ahead of anyone else that its not funny. He has done it at every club, in Europe, for holland, a dead ball genius.
In the EL, Friars has to be up there, although Robbie Doyle has a sweet strike too.
im sure all the pats supporters will remember the free kick stuart holt took in the last game of the season two seasons ago, ya know the year ye won the league. he was a good 10 yards outside the box if not more and the pressure on him was immence if we had of lost that game we would have been relegated and he scored a handful more that season and the season before that sure it was the main reason he got playing. have to say myler looks dangerous when he is hitting free kicks to. for me the free kick specialist has to be reberto carlos.

cracking strike alright, didnt look special at the time as i was behind the opposite goal but on tv it looked great.
