That's not a bad idea. You could have a 'much maligned' banner; Saty, Simon Godfrey, Big Al Nicholson, Jordie McKenzie bookended with Hogans Heroes

You left off a few in your "most maligned" list. Surely Jack Watts has to be there. And Colin Sylvia, Isaac Weetra, Mark Neeld. I could go on...

Saty and the scooter.

He's far more committed than others we've had up in the past.

maybe you guys are onto something;

we put the fringe dwellers up there, from there they jocky along, sometimes shuffling in order, but with an EXIT Stage left <<<<<< each end of season final list lodgement, we refill the banner ?

After RDB the list gets thin.

the two that made any contribution IMO were Ray Groom but probably Paul Wheatley is the best because of a combination of skill and length.

The others Hmm they ran around with it on is the best I can say

it'd be cool to actually have a vote for it and the top 6 choices get on there or something.

Might have to bring in 'Range Rover' to set up the poll.

Flower, Stynes, Lyon, Neitz, Jones, Tyson.

I'd like to see a banner comprising Enyaw, Tonatopia, Ben Hur and Range Rover

Slight tangent - apologies - but a post-xmas house clean has unearthed a 2002 Signature Collection of rare old tawny port with the great man's photo and signature on the label. Must have bought it at the time. Quite sad really when I saw his first and last games wearing the No. 2, and most in between. Back to topic.

You missed Max Hislop 1915 and Ken Levey 1943.

A mix of the history and the future

Flower, Viney, Roos, Barassi, Jones, Tyson, Goodwin

It's a very sad moment that Tulip and Jimmy have died, but isn't it time we quit living in our past glory? I know there has been very little success over the last few years but we really need to support our current crop of players and show that we believe in the future.
