Players only and forgetting how some left/returned/slagged us later:

Brian Little
Andy Gray
Sid
Gary Shaw
Platt
Yorke

That's 6 sorry

No one since really although I quite liked Dion Dublin, Ian Taylor and Savo. I also think history will treat Gabby better than currently.  Ashley Young and Benteke with his 40 odd goals will be remembered fondly as well eventually

All great picks.  But no Saint Danny?   The best ever in my lifetime.  At 76, I must be a lot older than most of you.
