    Yay Guly! I still remember clearly that rocket from 30 yards against Blackpool who were 2 divisions above us. Christ that sounds weird!

    I feel like all the charity work Franny has done since he retired has seen him transcend from cult hero to just absolute hero.

    This is bullshit. None of you know anything.

    Fastest EVER goal in the Prem! Took us to Wembley (can you not remember how satisfying it was to beat Liverpool that night?!). Destroyed Arsenal at Christmas to end a dog-****e run of form. 50-yarder against Villa on final day. Scored a goal against Leicester with a shot that wasn't even on target! The man's pure magic.

    "Oh but he hasn't scored for fifty games", yeah whatevs.

    I can't believe no one else has voted for the boxheaded one! Only ever scored on a Tuesday IIRC.

    Nick Holmes... Local man, well over 400 games, F A CUP WINNER. Key member of arguably our best team ever in the early 80s. Whether left back or left midfield, he made eveybody he played with look better. Always had time for fans, As described on Wicky he was and probably still is urbane. Yet steely hard in the tackle with an uncanny habit of being able to tackle and emerge with the ball at his feet. Club captain. If you ever wanted to see a player who went through games in an understated manner but was appreciated by all who understood the game, Nick Holmes is/was your man. A legend.

    It was tough to go against Guly, but Maya will always be my number 1.
