Peter Sayer anyone? I remember a volley he hit from a corner at the south stand end. f***ing quality.

Sully, legend.

Steve Piper.

Jimmy Case.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Surprised (or may have missed it) noone has mentioned Darren Currie. I know he was only here for a short time but he did have class - as sweet a left foot as you like - although obviously not blessed with great pace.

but he was right footed?

 

[Scotty Mac]

can't believe it took until the SECOND page for someone to mention jeff minton!

rod thomas was pretty classy, and so was PAUL MCDONALD

 

[Col P]

so many but heres a few of my favs:

B.Horton, N.McNabb, T.Grealish,C.Oatway, S.Wilson and J.Case for bitting ability.

F.Worthington, H.Wilson, Clarke, S.Gostermoth (SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING) and P Osullivan for pure skill

T. Towner, S.Nelson, S.Penny,midfield wingers

and then those who could have been but for one reason or other did not quite make my list J.Minton,R. Codnor, P. Duffy,T.Curry and D. Freeman.

sorry for any I have missed and my all time fav got to be Frank Worthington

Sergei Gotsmanov must befit a flair class all of his own, how the hell Barry Lloyd pursuaded him to join is a mystery to me, it was almost as good as Charlton signing Alan Simonsen (who was at that time the European player of the year).

Not 1 of the best but 1 of my favourites Steve Jacobs

 

[kalinski]

Penney was brilliant.

Lawro was a defender.

He played in the midfield for us...i am sure?!!

Yes, one of my all time favourites. Just a shame he didn't stay longer.

Danny Wilson was great for us. Total commitment, and a fair few goals as well. Has anyone mentioned Deano yet? Despite the Wendy tag, given time and space he could hit a superb through ball. Like Deano, Codner had his fair share of detractors, but over 40 goals from midfield is not bad by anyone's reckoning. If his attitude had been right, he could have done a lot more in the game.

I'm putting my flak jacket and tin helmet on now, but just how good was Jimmy Case for us in his first spell? Obviously brilliant in the Cup run, and I probably didn't see him that much as I was away at Uni, but I can remember being disappointed at his passing in the league games I saw him play in.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Danny Wilson, naturally

 

[Zed Seagull]

Yep. Played midfield when we signed Suddaby. Lawrenson was played in midfield as he had just returned from injury. Broken arm i think.

 

[fosters headband]

For the older fans Brian Bromley, Ian McNeil, Nobby Lawton and Jimmy Collins

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Danny Wilson, he was class when he was at the Albion. Left us
to join Luton and led them to greater things.
A midfield dynamo.

Why has everyone forgotten Wendy?

Also Brian Horton.
A midfield terrier yes... but also capable of controlling the pace of a game and spraying passes around the park.
