Paul McGrath - flying back heels

Mark Bosnich - when the ball was up the other end you'd see him stretching his arms out to the side and to the sky like Mad Lizzie off breakfast telly

McGrath doing that little pointy thing with both hands at his hips whenever he made a row-Z clearance that went over the old one-tier Witton Lane stand.

Gordon Cowans pose when he took a free-kick. One leg trailing behind and pointing down to the floor.

Dean Saunders running with his tongue out all the time.

Shaun Teale making a fantastic challenge then hobbling about for the next two minutes.

I cant believe that McGrath played when the old Witten stand was there?

Petrov stumbling and looking like he's going to fall flat on his face but just manages to stay on his feet.

Peter Withe and his bag of sweets from the lady in the Witton Lane stand.

and his sweat bands


And running around after whatever defender had upset him, giving him the finger

Sid's turn - where he'd drag the ball round behind him changing feet and beating his marker

Brian Little never having his shirt tucked in.

When we'd conceded a corner John Gidman running to his post, raising both hands to his head and pulling his hair out of his eyes.

Exactly the picture that comes to mind when I think of him. All so effortless.

Jimmy Rimmer used to get a bag of sweets every game off an old dear when he was at Arsenal. These days they'd be laced with something - does Emile get given any?



For me it's the great waft of liniment that came from Colin Withers as he approached the Holte End. And Les Sealey screaming obscenities.

Dwight Yorke running up the length of the pitch towards the tunnel after every pre-match warm up with the ball balanced on his head.

Ashley Young looking like he's about to cry whenever he's awarded a free kick.

Stiliyan Petrov passing the ball five yards when he intended to trap it.

Steve Sidwell trying to tackle by doing a one-man haka.

Julian Joachim not having a neck.
