Since by Doc's own admission he is a crumbly old bastard (and still younger than me ::) ) he may find this one more difficult. Others mind, who are later on the scene will enjoy it more!

This is tough. I’ve a crystal clear memory of every game in the ‘80s and ‘90s and I can’t remember anything from the last 20 years.
I’m deliberately ignoring any of the players we had under he-who-will-not-be-named as they were all brought in by cheating. Bit harsh on the likes of Caskey et al, but rules is rules…

Platty
Kristian Green
I can’t remember any left backs at all.
Evo
Tilt
Tonks
Jack
That bloke who played in the league and wore that horse mask
Todd Parker
Ben10
Iyesden

Nostalgia trumps recency bias I’m afraid.

Those with better recent memories than me will come up with 10 better ones, I’m sure.

Purely based on ability, Troy Deeney and Ikechi Anya would have to have a shout, even if they didn’t play very many games!

Doc - surely your team needs Asa at left back!!

Asa, deffo. Legend.

Erik Hummel.

Wasn’t he the one who refused to come out for the second half?

Not sure of the spelling, but Richard Shitzu, brother of Danny. For both name and performance.
