    Agree, I was using the little / large combo principle, aka Mills and Blake, aka Bobby/ Hawley etc

    Mills and Blake for me were the perfect partnership. Plus a Beagrie who could whip those balls in.

    Pure skill and technique on the left and pace and determination on the right.

    The 2 up top had perfect help and complemented each other well.

    Certainly more talented, but 1 season wonders.

    Hanson and Wells did it for a few years and cemented a bigger legacy with that cup run (plus a promotion). IMO of course.

    Hanson / Wells were a more traditional big man-little man combo than Mills / Blake, probably the only better one I've seen live are Quinn / Phillips

    You could probably argue that case for Mills but Blake had some longevity and certainly after he left.

    Mills would probably have stayed too, as would Moore if the contract offers had been fair.

    Clarke, Moore and Mills. 3 of our best players arguing with Big Geoff over money. A shame and didnt help.

    Rumours more too it with Mills though. 1 or 2 at the time claiming he had an affair.

    All true. It's where the expression 'rumour mill' came from.

    Give over …They were playing in a different , much higher league than Jim and Nahki. A chalk and cheese comparison.

    Gary Jones?. Although he would have been a couple of years younger I think when we signed him than Sharp would be?
