Yes, 'The Matthews Final'. Doug is now 87. Disparaged by some but he was vital as the 'old head' in a fairly young side.

:thumbsup: - agreed. Scored our first goal at Wembley in 1964 playing as an out and out (pace required) left winger - not too shabby that!!

(great thread, John, and excellent responses :thumbsup🙂
 
I think it's a generation thing myself.

Fans will give their opinion on the player they saw play the most in a relatively short period of time.

I'm torn between Mike Elwiss, Sean Gregan (loved his fighting spirit) and Graham Alexander.

It's Gregan for me.

Also remember seeing him score straight from a corner. Think it was from the uncovered corner of the kop end.
 
Ricardo for me, made over a million when sold to Stoke, but absolute magic fir us and you cannot put a price on that.

I can't believe it took until post 40 for Mawene to get a mention.

Alexander is the other obvious one from recent times.

Nugent and probably Hugill for sell on value vs initial outlay.

Ryan Kidd also. Free transfer, career going nowhere when we signed him in 92. Went on to be one of most consistent and best performers in three divisions. It doesn't get much better than that.
