Not sure about O'Neill.

But agree on the others.

Hucks though stood out and is worthy of our love for two reasons. He was the best player in our squad when he played for us by miles and miles and often carried the team. And he was "too good for us" given the state we were in most of the time when he was here, but despite that loved the club and committed to us in a way none of the others on that list did.

That's why he's different and special, even though three on that list were better players imho.
