    To be written and published by WOTP next month.

    Any guesses for the top 10? A few of the below are before my time. Not sure on Jewell, it says players. As a player bang average but it was what came after.

    1 - Stuart McCall
    2 - Bobby Campbell
    3 - Gary Jones
    4 - Ces Podd
    5 - Dean Windass
    6 - Peter Beagrie
    7 - Paul Jewell
    8 - Wayne Jacobs
    9 - Peter Jackson
    10 - David Wetherall

    Notable mentions - Eddie Youds, Dean Richards, Darren Moore, Gary Walsh,

    Again some of the players before my time and not top 10, but Omar Daley for entertainment value alone must be top 20? Not mentioning the fact he made it onto Soccer AMs show boat!!

    Jermaine Johnson would be in before Omar Daley I'd suggest but I'm not sure either should be anywhere near.

    It was very very tough to offer five, and I could mention literally dozens that could qualify for my top five, but after much thought, I opted for the following five.
    I won't go into reasons why, unless you want 3hours reading material.

    Stu McCall
    Bobby Campbell
    Peter Beagrie
    Joe Cooke
    Ces Podd

    ( it was soooo hard leaving Peter Downsborough out )

    Would you like to see my 16 that I'd never like to see here again !!

    Seeing as it's personal favourites, for whatever reasons, and not just the "best" in terms of abilities etc., I went for a pair of obvious selections: Stuart and Bobby, a pair of solid pros who did a very good job for us over many years: Dave Evans and Gavin Oliver, and one from the recent past: James Hanson.

    To expand that to ten as posters have been doing in this thread, I'd add Ces Podd, Paul Tomlinson, Brian Mitchell, Jamie Lawrence, and John Hendrie.
