Players that stand in my mind are Alan Duffy because of his round shape. Others are Eric Steele who used to impersonate Groucho Marx, Steve Foster who used to pretend to pick up a ball and kick it further and Frank Worthington who was just Frank.
As a manager Jimmy Melia was a one off with his white dancing shoes.

ALEX DAWSON!!!! Used to take the piss out of goalkeepers and try to barge them into the net.
Fossie is the other "character" that came to mind. He got thrown out of Sloopys nightclub for pissing on the dancefloor.

Des "Tank" Tennant, one of the first attacking full backs which wasn't surprising as I am told he started his career as a winger. There was always a "buzz" in the crowd when he went forward.
