    I read a conversation the other day where a Wigan and Portsmouth fan were agreeing that De Zeeuw was one of their best players too...

    First Reds match April 1977 (Reds 4 Workington 0), but I’d been pestering my grandad to take me for some time before that.

    Who I think the best 10 were and my favourite 10 are quite different, so here goes (I’m doing this off the top of my head, so hope I don t forget anyone.

    Top 10 (best, in my opinion)
    1 - John Stones
    2 - Ronnie Glavin
    3 - Neil Redfearn
    4 - Mick McCarthy
    5 - Ashley Ward
    6 - Paul Futcher
    7 - David Hirst
    8 - Conor Hourihane
    9 - Craig Hignett
    10 - Ethan Pinnock

    3 players unlucky to miss out were Heinz Müller, who would easily have made the list if not for how he was affected by his injury, and Ian Banks and David Currie, who weren’t as good when they came back. Stones and Hirst weren’t necessarily the best players for us, but you’d have to be blind not to see how good they were and what they would become.

    My favourite 10
    1 - Neil Redfearn
    2 - Paul Futcher
    3 - Clive Baker
    4 - Brian Joicey
    5 - David Currie
    6 - Mick McCarthy
    7 - Rodger Wylde
    8 - Ronnie Glavin
    9 - Ashley Ward
    10 - Ian Banks

    with apologies to Gordon Owen, David Hirst, Conor Hourihane, John Stones and Ethan Pinnock, who narrowly miss out.

    As an aside, how on earth did Ronnie Glavin only get 1 international cap, and in light of England’s difficulty in finding decent centre backs in the run up to the 1982 World Cup, bringing Dave Watson out of international retirement and calling up players like Alvin Martin, Russell Osman, Gary Stevens (the Brighton/Spurs one) and Steve Foster, how on earth did Paul Futcher and Mick McCarthy get overlooked? Okay, I know the answer to Macca, but had he signed for Man City in 1981 he would be an England international, not an Irish one, and would have gone to the World Cup. I think it was Bobby Collins who recommended McCarthy to Ron Greenwood at the time, but England weren’t interested in a Barnsley player.

    I always find these kind of questions very difficult and wouldn't want to do a disservice to the other past greats.

    That is really polite and I am sure Dave Regis respects your difficulty.

    8. Pinnock
    9. De Zeeuw
    10. Dyer

    Notable mentions to:

    I started watching in 1975.

    That is pretty close to what I'd select TBH.In the interests of team balance i might put either Darren Sheridan or Ray McHale in over John Hendrie. He was a pivotal signing though, so understand his inclusion.

    Banks or Hourihane is a tough one. I'd probably go Mccarthy over Currie too, but splitting hairs TBH.

    I don’t know without checking but he must be our longest serving keeper since Springett
