    Same rules apply. One vote each and open for 24 hours.

    Any voters outside of this board will have their selections stripped out.

    Had to go with Julio.

    As good as Alonso and Rose were for us they were only with us for a season - can't let their future success post SAFC change anything either IMO.

    Arca incredibly narrowly shades it over Mickey Gray.

    Yeah I expect them two to dominate the voting. Micky Gray always edged it for me. Them years he linked up with Magic we were pretty much unstoppable. I think Julio was more of a darling to us.

    Mickey for me as I met him on the train a couple of years ago and he was an absolute legend.

    Chatted for about 15 minutes and he asked if I wanted a selfie when we got off the train in Brum.

    What a vain legend.

    If I'd met Arca it would have been him. A hair's breadth between them.

    Rose for me, was streets ahead of what we had when he was here.

    All are good, preffered Julio as a LW but for players at the SOL Magic will beat him to left wing, or Kilbane :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Arca. My favourite player that we've ever had, simple as that.

    Cant go for two loanees over the two who were with us for years. Going to go with Gray for the left back spot but only just.

    If I was being nostalgic I would pick Gray. If I am picking the best player for a team for today I would pick Arca.

    Tough but gone Micky Gray as I intend to vote Johnston to complete the partnership.

    Alonso by a mile, yet was it Poyet who let him go that's why we are in the championship. Julio was never a defender but a midfielder but Reid could not see that. Bould was the best out of the lot though. Out of all left backs I would have Danny rose back tomorrow.

    Julio for me. I remember away at Wimbledon when they'd just moved to Milton Keynes (and were still briefly called Wimbledon) and Julio pretty much ran the game from left back. I also remember an amazing pass he played in behind the opposing right back for whoever was playing LW for us in the game against the Mags when we drew 1-1 and Patrice Carteron scored. As good as Micky Gray was, I never saw him do what Julio could do.
