Dean Kiely - Don't think we've had a player in my lifetime that single handedly won us as many games as deano
Claus Jensen - the most consistently creative player we've had in the last 11 years
Luke Young - Despite a slow start quickly went on to become mr reliable, don't recall him having many bad games at all
Radostin Kishishev - Though more limited than the likes of Parker & Jensen, an underrated footballer who consistently performed at the highest level in various positions for a number of years.
Darren Bent - the most natural/consistent goal scorer for us post 2000
How about some memories to go with those selections?;
Parker- goal at leeds last minute, after mazy run
Jensen- goal at west ham (was it 2?- one a long range curler- ok, might have been deflected)
Rufus- crunching tackle in his first game back away at spurs that we could literally hear in the away end- probably shin-pad to shin-pad, even though it was far away just past the half way line, and he just carried on.
Kishishev- absolute commitment in one particular tackle at middlesbrough in the cup. Think the guy still got his cross in but it wasn't for lack of effort by Kish!
Maybe for those that were there! I only saw it on tv, and that doesn't register in my senses or memory strangely
Maybe that's because it was scored by a Charlton player. If Henry or Cantona had scored that goal it would still be replayed regularly on Sky even now.
The memory for Jensen Has to be his lob at Arsenal

I wasn't there, I was only 5 at the time but it was a great goal.
The other memory of Jensen would be when he scored against Blackburn after Brad Freidel had just scored to complete there comeback only for Jensen to run the ball from kick-off get to the edge of the box shoot and score with the last kick of the game

Lisbie - That last minute winning header at Chelsea (2001) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1685022.stm , and of course an all round nice lad
Parker
Rufus
Stuart - not sure if mentioned above but highly underrated. His 'narrow' right midfield style was perfect for Curbishly
Kinsella
Bent
