Omitted 4 and 12 as during the 15 years or so I followed Salford, I never saw more than one Centre or Second Row who were any better than the other several dozen that all played there.

Steve Nash

Watkins

Fielding

Richards

Dixon

Gill

Peter Smethurst

Blease ( homegrown )

Chris McGreal ( local lad played with one eye )

Charlton ( Legend )



Sorry for getting a bit nostalgic but if we can recreate those days again I will die a happy man. Over to you Doc.

I'd have Moule as the other centre, class.

P.Charlton

K.Fielding

D.Watkins

C.Hesketh

M.Richards

K.Gill

S.Nash

M.Coulman

C.Dixon

E.Prescott



Or away from the greatest side I ever watched.

1) Paul Charlton, Top fullback,better than B .Slater as he could tackle

2) Wally McArthur, Wing, Faster than Offiah( but played in a crap Salford team)

3) Ken Gill, Stand Off, could put a man through the eye of a needle

4) Chris Hesketh, Centre, could wriggle out of tackles

5) Billy Banks, Scrum Half, If you did not see him you missed watching a genius and a showman, the crowd loved him

6) Stefan Rathford, Don't need to say anything about Stef

7) Charlie Bott Prop, Tough no nonsense hard working Prop



Colin Dixon, Second Row, Fast classy forward

9) Hugh Duffy, Loose Forward, played the same time as Wally McArtur in a poor team, always breaks in attack

10) Ray Cashmere, Similar to Big Charlie Bott



Then there's Watkins , Richards, Just thought about Jackie Brennan



Lots of good memories there. Lets hope next season we have plenty more favourites

Bloody hell,Roy,you're showing your age.

I only just remember him !

after last weeks gutless performance up front, a nice mix of tackling machines and forwards that liked to ' introduce ' themselves whilst doing the hard yards.

Favourite players since I've been watching, not necessarily the best players but the ones who I had a soft spot for or always gave 100% :



Gavin Clinch

Craig Stapleton

Stu Littler

Malcolm Alker

Andrew Dunnemann

Fata Sini

Karl Fitzpatrick

Gary Broadbent

Stefan Ratchford

David Hodgson

Billy Banks - Five foot nothing and bald at 25. Great player in a poor team.

Here's my list you might get the idea I'm stuck in the late 60s early 70s...



David Watkins

Chris Hesketh

Paul Charlton

Colin Dixon

Mike Coulman

Bill Burgess

Keith Fielding

Steve Nash

Ken Gill

Maurice Richards

Well after a week of thinking about this I'm a little closer, I've narrowed it down to 20 so far

Number 1 is Neil Baker, number two is Neil Baker, number 3 is Neil Baker, number 4 is Neil Baker......................



We all live in a Baker wonderland.
