With all due respect Hoadie, hard surely to quote Bruce as one of your all time favourites without ever having seen him play for us?!

I know, but I had to put him, thought people must have forgot him as no one had put him up to me choosing him. What a legend he was though.
I did not do my all time one, it changed to that topic part way through the thread after I had posted the current ones. At my age how do you choose, so many, Brain Yeo was just one season before my time, so will not be on my list purely for that reason only. No particular order, Ron Hillyard, shared so much banter with this guy, one of the best goal keepers around in the lower two divisions at that time. Steve Bruce, nothing to do with his later years, in defence he was solid and very vocal, can anyone remember Mel Sage being on the end of his vocals. My third choice so difficult the list could go on but for pure passion and heart of the club it has to be Hessy. Whatever happened to Peter Feely could do with his goal scoring ratio right now (if I remember correctly all those years ago a great header of the ball). I suggest all the younger generation go and google that one, a name never mentioned but never forgotten by me in a Gills shirt.
Can't have too many Jack Payne's, and have to admit I was close to putting him in my all time one, he would have been 5th or 6th but there was others in the way. Jarvis was fourth and Crofts was also in the top 10, great player should never have let him go, but then that is another reason to hate DIMSON>?
