    I had completely forgotten about Bruno N'Gotty, before I made this...

    Also, the irony that we are now 3rd in the Premier League and Joe Mattock is plying his trade at the bottom end of the Championship does make me smile...

    Yeah, there keeper made some wonder saves aswell from Stearman and Hume. We went down that year with the best defence in the league and with strikers like Iain Hume, Matty Fryatt, DJ Campbell, Steve Howard and Barry Hayles its hard to see how we couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo when at times in their careers they was all very good championship strikers who hit the back of the net regularly

    If you want a challenge I have a question for you - name the entire 1999-2000 squad that Savage claims is better then our current one.

    33 players had a shirt number - name those players.

    (FYI I got 12 then had to look the others up...)

    I won't ruin it for people but I've looked it up and there's one person I have no recollection of despite watching most games! The midfielder starting with B (4 letters). Why can't I remember ha!

    We signed him on loan for the last few games, he was a winger and then he signed for Norwich and then Coventry afterwards
