I don't think we appreciated Crook at the time.

His name always gets mentioned in these things but he was far from being a regular throughout much of hid career, even at a time when rotation was less usual.

Holty was incredible for the galvanising effect he had on the whole club. Maybe the best signing we've ever made.

Wes and Crook are both remarkable for being such good players despite some major shortcomings. Both always determined to play their own game no matter what. We've been lucky to have them!
