Andy Kennedy as much as anything for his comment when he left the Albion that a number of clubs were after him...Oriana's, Midnight Blues, Pink Coconut...

You're going back to my favourite era...Johnny Keeley, Doug the thug Rougvie, Garry Nelson and that lunatic Kevin Bremner. Great times.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Adrian Owers
Mark Gall
Mark Farrington (as he's the worst professional footballer of all time, making Johnny Crumplin look like Pele)

 

[EastbourneGull]

Johnnie Goodchild - a face only a mother could love.

From the same era...

Jimmy Collins - creative midfielder plus goals. Couldn't we use someone of his qualities today.

Two of the 'famous five' who each scored more than 10 goals in a season (1964?). The other 3 were Bobby Smith, Wally Gould and Cassidy I think.
