Funny how when you're picking your favourite players they aren't necessarily the best ones. A lot of mine are from when I first started to go to games.
Really want to get out all my old programmes and start going through the starting line ups because I'm sure i wound change the team a 100 times with people I can't think of off the top of my head.
Brilliant thread!
