    Tough picks but I'll go for:

    Hurst - goal scoring winger in the top flight

    Hewie - played in every position including STARTING four games non goal and our only Scottish international (question over Watt)

    Gritt - another player who played in lots of position. 100%er

    Edit: Done :wink:

    Head said gritty i won't deny, but Robbo was my favourite player for years
  • Done. Firmani and Gritt. Don't know enough about the pre-1951 trio.

    Agreed... Robbo had the attitude we dearly need right now from a lot of players, didnt he get really pissed off being left on the bench for the Play-Off Final (because he was just coming back from injury) yet came on and from his initial cross we got the corner that led to the Rufus goal.

    Not to mention his celebration after getting the equaliser against Man Utd when we drew 3-3
  • Gordon Hurst.........always exciting seeing him at pace - crowd would encourage 'wing it , wing it'. Think Hurst might have won a wartime cap.

    Eddie Firmani........along with Leary spearheaded the change from 30s/40s kick and rush to the intelligent beautiful game we know today. Firmani could play anywhere on the field and would always look elegant and stylish.

    Bob Bolder...........will always be linked with the Lennie Lawrence survival years - every game approached nervously , but with good football and great spirit we seemed somehow to get by.
  • Could we set up a Hall of Infamy? I've got some good candidates in mind for the 1981 To Date category.
  • Charlie Vaughan - all the goals he scored for us were in the top flight, plus my Dad served with his brother in the Royal Navy.
    Eddie Firmani - still I think the only player to score over 100 goals in English and Italian league football.
    John Robinson - wore his heart on his sleeve, one of my favourite players post return.

    No board big enough

    .

    FA Tour of Australia 1951. Not counted as a full cap then but we have his England cap and FA Cup winners medal in the Museum.
  • Hewie and Bolder
  • Bolder vs Gritt vs Robinson is such a tough choice.

    Well Rufus is in the Hall of Fame already so could feature in both!
  • Tough this time round.

    My choices:

    Vaughan - Nearly 100 goals in the top tier and highly rated by my relatives who saw him play

    Hewie - Mr Versatility and second only to Keith Peacock in outfield player appearances so shades it from Firmani this time.

    Gritt - By name by nature. That iconic photo of him in the dressing room after the 1987 play off final sums up why he gets the nod over John Robinson for me

  • I think they should all go in the Hall of Fame.
