Glad you included Richard Cresswell – who’ll always live in my memory for that (maybe it would count as spectacular?) “he’s behind you” goal!
Mmm, Coady and Gibbs-White (who may be on your next list) – two I would have loved to signed. Sadly missed.
Ched Evans – what a pity. All that talent . . .
Rob Hulse and Paul Coutts (who, again, may appear later) – we’re really unfortunate with broken legs in great players aren’t we?
Scoogs was truly one of my favourites and “giddy glee” well sums up the feeling after his goal against Hull. Yes, that’s right – Stefan Scougall scored at Wembley!!! And oh that Sumo throw. The worst thing was it was right in front of the referee who just waved ‘play on’. The look on Scougall’s face . . .
That picture of David Brooks is so poignant – he’d done all that hard work (including the Jack Hunt nutmeg) and then Leon Clarke fluffed the goal! (Made up for it later, though!!).
In the Naysmith bit I thought we'd surely had a decent left back after he had gone, at least for a while. The Lafferty section reminded me just how dire those 5 or 6 years were. Christ.
A really enjoyable article, Ben. It must have taken hours to make the list.
Thank you for reminding me of players I loved to watch and those I had forgotten about.
Some controversial choices there too!
I look forward to part 2, will my favourites be there?
Thanks, Ben – what a great idea for an article.

Good list, cheers.
A good list and it brought back some memories (good and bad!). Staggered that Osborn is so high, though!
