But what a headbutt at Palace. And for that alone he is forever a legend!

Was at Palace when he nutted Ian Wright . Funny.

If only for the fact that he used RFC to promote himself into the England side (and it doesn't matter who was injured....at that time he was the best English left back available).

No other RFC left back has created and scored goals at the level that NS did during that first season in the PL. Indeed, the goal at home to Spurs was a pivotal moment in the whole season - kick-starting the run to 8th place.


(and I didn't even like him !!!)

John Humphrey or Kenny Brown.

For me it has to be Nicky Shorey, closely followed by Armstrong and Bertrand. Mentions must be given to Steve Richardson and Michael Gilkes although in my opinion Gilkes was obviously a winger who could do a good job at left back. Dylan was a decent left back who did a very good job for us, although I'm not sure he should have been our player of the year. Matt Robinson was an excellent signing, especially considering some of the dross we were served up between himself and Dylan Kerr.

If you know nicknames you haven't mentioned them and nor did I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You forgot to write 11.

Shorey or Bertrand on a more serious note.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

If you are signing 33-year-olds for £50k from league one and thinking that is the way forward, and that is "an excellent purchase", then that is a recipe for disaster.

What like Jimmy Quinn?

There's a 33-year-old named Jimmy Quinn available for £50k from a league one club?

Best signing me ever made.

Many apologies, I did of course mean this twonk here...

Did anyone mention Paul Bodin, class act! (I'll get my coat...).

Rooster and Boomer, there were 2 great reading characters. Rooster was never the same after he got kicked in the chest and broke several ribs (iirc). Boomer had one of the best leaps I've ever seen, must be the shortest player we've had playing at centreback/sweeper!

Rooster and Boomer??

Pace, Control, Power - absolutely none of them.

Wasn't he a right-back?

Corrected to take this into account.
