    Mido. I love players who get stuck in.

    Also Adam Jackson and Matty Pearson. Neither of them got the run of games that would have shown them at their best, but I liked both of them.

    Nicky Eaden and Brendan O'Connell.

    They're now seen very differently. But at the time, as a kid, I never understood the stick they got.

    Yes not very quick to say the least but put himself about and won most his aerial battles

    Didn't we pay above £1 million for Mike Sheron and for me was not Goodenough to get in our reserve team.
    One of our most underrated players was Stumpy. A carbon copy of Nobby Stiles.

    David Speedie by miles for me. I recall seeing play as a replacement for an injured player and he played in midfield. It may have been Glavin who was out and I think it may have been Wimbledon away. Either way, it was the days before this board and instant messaging, but I sent a match report to a pal and remember recording that 'we may have discovered another Billy Bremner in young Speedie and I am NOT kidding.' I was shell-shocked when Clarke sold him to Darlington for £7k and annoyed when he then went for a grand fee to Chelsea and thence to full Scottish caps. He was combative, alert, with good ball skills and an absolute terrier in chasing balls down. Like an international version of Chaplin. I seem to remember that he came back to Oakwell as a reporter for a tv channel and I saw him outside the ground before a Premiership game, which was probably the Blackburn Rovers game at which MP Jack Straw was smuggled in with his body guards. Happy days! Could have been even happier if he and Clarke hadn't fallen out and at what cost!

    And, chances are, if you phone Mick’s Mini Cabs in Bentley, Doncaster, right now, David Speedie will be your driver. And I kid you not.

    Ray McHale without doubt... Intelligent player who allowed Banks and Glavin to do their stuff
