Feel a little bit sorry for the stick Luke Young sometimes gets regarding the captaincy. Its not his fault he is not a natural leader, he got given the role at a tme when there was simply no obvious candidate, and there still isn't.
The best captain i've seen over the years was Kinsella, purely because not only was he a 100% little workhorse, he had talent as well, and seemed to be able to bring out the best in others.
Simon Webster was always an excellent captain for me. The side wasn't as talented then, and he was by no means the best player, but he had a real leadership about him. If you were going into battle, you would feel secure with Webbo by your side.
So what other good captains have there been over the years ? Be interested in the times when some of the younger ones here wouldn't of been following the club.

He seemed to encourage the comparative but limited youngsters like Berry, Dave Campbell (the first) and Peter Shaw whilst gaining and retaining the respect of senior pros like Killer, Flanagan, Powell and Warman.
Had we not sold Killer to Derby when we did we would have got promoted I reckon. We scored goals for fun then (and let them in!).
God bloody JCLs....
Curtis after Kinsey if I remember rightly.
