    His only equal is Paul Futcher.

    Stones has undoubtedly become better than Macca but as he only played for a season mostly at right back. I think Mick was better for us.

    I'd have Futch at side of him mate. I allus wonder how far Futch would have gone on in todays game. A joy to watch.

    Stones played only 24 times for us and solely at right-back, as far as I remember.

    Yes, a proper Rolls Royce of a player. Even his own goals were special.

    Macca still played a lot of international games though !
    It’s an unanswerable question as to whether Stones has become better .

    I just know that Macca gave me a load of enjoyment and memories are there forever

    I would say the Arjan Dezoo if i have spelled his name right might be worth a mention

    I still think he would do a job for his own town club

    Managers, particularly inexperienced ones, don’t tend to be in favour of their club appointing someone who could possibly do their job better than themself.

    Has anyone asked Mick about Mbappe’s move, and whether he thinks €1.9m Euros per day is justifiable??

    Yes, we've had some excellent centre halves over the years.

    Ian Evans was another one worth a mention.
    After he stopped playing he was part of Mick’s coaching staff on more than one occasion

    I was going to do a list and he was first to go on it. Unfortunately my memory gave up so I abandoned it...
