I think mine has to be Mike Whitlow

Franck Passi

 

Loved him, long time ago I know but quality! =D>

 

Long time ago? Is this a different Passi to the one who left in around 2001? Not even last flippin century!

 

 

Could you give some examples of his quality please as I think they passed me by.

Pete Nicko

I'd fully agree with you there mate. He gave is all for the club in many positions he was asked to play in.

I remember a brilliant goal he scored at Blackpool from just outside the box, it dipped in under the bar - cracker.

What about the one Nicko scored at Sheffield United when we slaughtered them 1-5

but for me the un-sung hero has to be Warwick Rimmer...he would of headed a cannonball for Bolton Wanderers

Warwick Rimmer.... now you're talking! A class act who took no prisoners and was totally dedicated to the Wanderers. Pity we don't have a few more with that kind of attitude nowadays, (although Nolan comes close).

 

I remember Warwick when we were playing at Rotherham, down 2-1 with a couple of minuts to go. The ball went into the crowd and Rimmer came over to collect it and take the throw in. As he reached for the ball, the guy in the crowd who was holding it out to him threw it away and laughed in Rimmer's face. He stopped laughing when Rimmer chinned him. (We still lost, though, but damn near wet ourselves laughing).

What a win that was! Panned 'em. I was with one of your mates (I think?)from Atherton (a certain D.Rothwell) and the bloody coach driver got lost.

Went into Blade territory and got all the windows stoved in and the dozy pillock driver drove round the block to go back and see if he could catch who'd done it!! There were bloody hundreds of em and this time the bricks had no glass to interrupt their flight! Often wonder how many of us have managed to get to 2006 with only a few scars!

 

Peter Nicholson and Warwick Rimmer would be up there for me. Roy Greavo never got the accolades he deserved.

Simon Coleman - Even if only for scoring THAT goal which still upsets my Burnley supporting mates.

 

We only need 9 men! :D/

Robbie "show us yer arse" (is some skill out of the question!!?) Savage was hardly unsung.

His song was Top 3 in Paddock charts for a couple of seasons

Totally agree with you. But how many of 'The Reebok' generation even know of the REAL Robbie Savage :-k

Surprised no-one has mentioned David "runs his socks off" Reeves yet.

Again, a popular player with fans of the day but was complete pants in front of goal which, as a striker, I sort of hoped he might have an idea of what to do #-o
