Can we name a team with stand out moments in the last decade from every position? The players themselves don't necessarily have to be the best of the decade, but the moments they were a part of are. I'll start with an easy one... BFG.

(Edit: Just read that back to myself and realised how sparse the great moments must have been for me to go with that)
Naby Sarr scoring in the 95th minute away at QPR after getting pelters all game.
Poor attitude but unplayable at times.

It was in fact The Upbeats half time victory parade when they went round the pitch once as planned and then, totally unabashed, set off yet again despite the comical fruitless efforts of stewards and Upbeats staff to call them back, no way, the lads were having none of it and off they went.
I can’t remember the oppo that day but to their credit they laughed and cheered along with the rest of us.
A treasured moment, when I found out that it’s possible to laugh and cry at the same time.
Love Jacko to bits.
But the reality is that we've spent more time in League One than the Championship this decade so these moments are going to be the stand out moments.
Whilst they might not be glamorous, as a fan you will celebrate them just as passionately as ever. I'd imagine there was the same amount of passion celebrating Igor's last minute winner against Wimbledon last season as there was on Saturday with Sarr's equaliser against QPR, for example.
Makes the club more special in my eyes as you appreciate the good moments more and don't take things for granted. I don't think it's something we should be ashamed of.
