    I used to love Ferenczi.

    I also seemed to like Colace more than most it seemed. His late runs into the box nabbed a few goals.

    Good call for Stan, Jovo is worth a shout as well.

    Plus given the match tomorrow, let's not forget Gwyn Thomas who got crocked in that 4 - 0 win against Chelsea in the FA Cup in 1989.

    Lee Butler. Decent keeper who had a great rapport with the fans. The only thing that made him leaving palatable was the emergence of a young David Watson.

    I always remember him getting lobbed a bit and screaming at the defenders as they trudged away. Some of his dives in lost causes were comic. He was very acrobatic.

    We’ve definitely had ‘better’ keepers, but his banter with the fans behind the goals was great. I always seem to remember him being one of the first players to find and acknowledge the supporters when the teams came out to warm up when we played away.

    Owen Archdeacon and Brendan O' Connell were favourites of mine growing up too.

    It was Lee Butler that gave Arjan de Zeeuw the nickname 'Chester'.
