    Nicky Eaden. By a mile. Disgraceful how some ****** 'fans' turned on him post-premier, for being local. He was the Gary Neville of the second tier. Another Kirk Balk legend. :D

    i'm not comparing him to bobby moore, as a kid I said to my dad that I didn't see what all the fuss was about with bobby moore and my dad said just watch him and what he does and the way he'll move 1/2 a yard 2 secs before its needed, and be in the right position to break things up or cut a pass out; excellent reader of the game

    I think Colace is up there, baffles me when he's getting mentions on the over rated thread. I think some of our fans get confused seeing a midfielder who can read a game & know where to be rather than running around like a headless chicken.

    All he ever did was run about like a headless chicken, before then neshing any sort of physical contact with an opposing player. The kid was abysmal.

    I don't think his finishing was awful in all honesty - he wasn't a poacher, he was someone that would oftentimes come deep for the ball and try and make things happen. I've had a quick look through his career stats, and only twice did he score more than 15 goals in a season (that was with Stoke, in consecutive years). I can't find any stats for his assists, but it must be pretty good.

    These been a few over the years

    But we have one there now that is seldom spoken about in the same way Winnall and Hourihane are..........and that's Marley Watkins

    He would be the first player on the team sheet if I were manager.

    If you get pitch side you'll know what I mean........he's an absolute nightmare for defenders to defend against........he does everything but bite defenders nose's off
