All the other clubs on there elect to bring back a legend who's no longer playing and we get someone who was desperate to come back to us last summer but we didn't want him!

I'd say we need a decent attacking full-back right now - and we've had some good ones in the past to choose from.

George Cummings.

apparently he man marked Stanley Matthews out of a big FA cup match when Matthews was in the middle of his 20 years of prime.

Current - James Miner.

All time, Paul Mcgrath

Can we re-sign Big Ron as manager too?

Still playing, Ashley Young.

One from the past, I'm torn between Paul McGrath to sort the defence or Tony Morley to create and score goals. ( Dennis Mortimer to lead from the middle wouldn't be a bad idea either.)

And I'm guessing the Albion fan who said Richard Sneekes was quite young and has only been going for about ten years surely?

If it's limited to player still playing and given our current defensive weakness, would it be too controversial to suggest a certain defender at Bolton?

Suggesting a return for Zat Knight is possibly even more ridiculous than for Thomas Hitz!

I know my dad would have said Billy Walker.

I think the player who has possibly brought me most joy is Sid.

Beyond Milner and Ash, I can't think of anyone who is still playing that I'd bust a gut to get back.
