    I don't. Devaney was still playing for us in 2011.

    Its only 10 years ago he was putting in sublime crosses against Liverpool and Chelsa - I think @Spuggy needs to check his memory and maybe get an upgrade

    Yes, I stand corrected. What's the punishment for getting something wrong on here these days?

    The bloke's apologised and admitted he made a mistake, Dave. He's got a long way to go before he makes as many mistakes as me, though!:D

    To reply to the OP though Its a tricky question - I cant decide between Hammill and Hourihane for different reasons, think they were both superb for us for different reasons and so am not going to pick just one

    Its a pleasant change to have someone on here in the possession of new factual information admit that their original statement was incorrect , accept it and move on, instead of continually trying to defend a clearly incorrect assertion. No further punishment required in my view

    Surely I'm the one to hand out punishment as I was the one who was wronged.

    And I say, let's just move on, no harm done.

    1. Brian Howard
    2. Adam Hammill
    3. Conor Hourihane
    4. Heinz Muller
    5. Alfie Mawson

    All game changers

    Stones, Vaz te were class but not at the club long enough to make an impact the same as above.

    I’m not offended by the term - just saw it as BBS shorthand, which is fine. I stand by the Hammill point, though it’s the kind of conversation best had over a pint than through the limitations of this Board. Maybe we will one day.
    To be clear, I genuinely think Hammill because I don’t think i’ve ever seen a player exert such influence on a team: by his play and by his approach. Put another way, I have no doubt that without him, we would not have been promoted. That is some influence.
    I did give it some ‘proper’ thought but, in the forty years i’ve been watching BFC the only other name I could come up with was Alan Clarke in 1978. But, is influence was much bigger and more on the whole club than the team. Just to piss off a few more people, I think Clarke was the individual most responsible for kick starting the success of the club up to the present datpy. He took a Micky Mouse joke of a club with pathetic support and transformed it absolutely. We owe him a lot.

    I'd have to give it to Hammill as when he was good he was brilliant. His Wembley goal against Millwall was one of the all-time classics and he had two spells with us. As good as Hourihane was he didn't turn a season round in the way Hammill did.

    Regarding Clarky i can't see many disagreeing with you from that era. It Was the time we grew and grew as a club. Been a great ride with a few downs. But wouldn't have swapped it for the world. Not wanting to put a dampener on it but don't agree as some would say the best side ever was down to Clarky . Hunter developed it into a dream team to watch.
