    So Far we have:

    GK : Tony Coton (over 50% of the vote)
    RB : Nigel Gibbs (over 57% of the vote)

    And now we move onto the left Backs, I believe it will be a 2 horse race but lets wait and see!

    For me its Robbo ..

    Always gave 100%, always clapped the fans after every game (even after an own goal that cost us the game), Didn't want to leave when he was sold, wanted to come back and had a lot more to his game then just thundering tackles, and has now played more then half his career in the prem ..

    Quite close between Robbo and Wilf Rostron for me - I have gone for Wilf though - very disappointed he missed out on the Final!!

    I think it's safe saying it's a position we've often struggled with!

    I would like to be able to say Kenny. But again I never got to see him play, so I have to say Harley. He has to be the best we have had in a while (excluding AT), I don't think we should have let him go.

    LB has certainly been our problem position. Look at the donkeys we've had just in the last 10 years - Darlington, Harley, May, Travner - the list really is endless.

    I voted for Wilf marginally over Robbo, but I'd have either back today! Wilf epitomised a "never say die" spirit for me and won "Player of the Season" twice to prove what he meant to us.

    Paul Robinson.

    Purely for the time when he was back tracking against a winger, realised he wouldn't be able to move his body quick enough to get a tackle in, so tackled the opposition player with his head. Now that's football.

    I can't believe Jordan Stewart has more votes than Keith Pritchett.

    If anyone votes Stewart they're dead meat >:|

    Whenever he played I brought a safety helmet because I knew the ball was going into the stands.

    Well it's all relative, if you have only seen Stewart or Doyley then you could argue that JS is better than Doyley. but then if you have seen Robbo then you say he is. I was not lucky enough to see most of those mentioned so I have to judge it on who I did see, and the best I have seen was Harley.

    I only put Stewart in here as I ran out of ideas, hence he got the ! . He had some arrogance about him but never seemed to back it up .... I saw a little bit of Wilf and he was superb but Robbo always gave it everything, I have spoken to him a few times and he is a top bloke with time for the fans and although he was a Spurs fan in his younger days, his heart will always be with Watford.
    I know he is doing his coaching badges so maybe one day we will see him back at the Vic, He is big mates with Kevin Phillips and they have both said they would like to finish there careers at Watford, It prob wont happen but we can live in hope, he must have 2 seasons left at least! Imagine the Buzz if we could have him back as our left back now ...

    A very valid point, if you've only seen Doyley and Darlington who would you vote for?

    The worst thing about Jon Harley was when he returned with Notts County - we made him look world class and we looked clueless.

    If my memory is correct Notts County at home last season was one of our best performances. If we had taken a fraction of our chances we would have been 5-0 at HT. And Harley was on the bench. Not sure what you mean Elixir.

    I think Wilf edges it for me and as mentioned by others. Such a shame he missed out on the final. Wasn't he sent off against L***n meaning he missed it!!!
