In the pub on Saturday night a group of us were discussing great players who have turned out for us over the years.
Taking it in turns we had to choose our favourite ever player not necessarily the best. I had a few players in mind but chose George Hudson as mine. A no nonsense centre forward, hard as nails, scoring goals with his head and feet, just a fantastic striker for us.A younger bloke chose Huckerby which was met with approval. So who's your favourite ? Any era.
Robbie Keane still can't believe we had someone of that quality, absolutely electric.

Huckerby, Dublin, Wise, Gally Keane WGS
Julien Gray
Honestly though, I have no idea... I like many players from many different seasons... Hard question... I did love Gary mcallister and Roland nilsson
I think anyone who saw him play wouldn’t be able to pick any other player than the wonderful Tommy Hutchison. Mr Magic.
I was there for his debut too. As kids we used to go up to Norton Hill where many players lived. Stood outside Hudson's house hoping he'd come out, and he did giving us his autograph. He became to all us kids our hero !Go with B B R and the Hud when he came completely different to other centre forwards most were just battering rams .His first touch was trapping the ball doing a shimmy leaving the Halifax player for dead and scoring a hatrick on his debut made him an instant hero.Class act.
