Oooo I love lists like this, let me have a go

Kevin Keelan - the hair! The tan! The lordly effortlessness! The ease with which he caught crosses! The flashing white-toothed grin! I love you, Kevin

Fleck (Mark 1) - because not only was he good but he loved winding up the opposition, winding up the opposition fans and stoking up the Barclay. A squat fat muscular barrel of bristling, spitting, snarling Scottish energy.

Hucks - because he was SO fast and SO direct and SO skilful and SO fluid. I don't care that he couldn't tackle and unbalanced the team. Players like Hucks are what I pay to see, players whose name you're really pleased to see on the teamsheet, that you know the opposition manager will have worried about, who can lift everyone else by doing someone amazing, who lift the crowd noise just by receiving a pass.

Justin Justin Fashanu - I always felt he was going to do something when he had the ball even though he rarely did

Paddon - the Viking God. Combative, brave, skilful, endless endless energy.
