One that springs to mind for me
Big Matt Smith
Scored pretty regularly when coming on as sub with his head.
In fact wouldn't he have been the man upon top for an Ainsworth team.

Hmmm OK I don't really recall that - certainly Polter and Sylla got more negativity for their perceived limitations. | |

I really loved Sylla, but was in a huge minority. :) | |

God Sylla as I called him.  I am totally with you on this. Anyone that can use fear to get a GK to drop the ball at his feet for tap in is a legend in my eyes. | |

Yeah I liked him too - one of those players where he didn't seem to know what he was going to do, so the opposition weren't going to know either! | |

Colin Clarke got stick, but he was a good foil for those playing off him.
Good feet for a big man as the saying goes. | | | |

I liked Sylla too.
Not that we saw much of him but I thought Sampsa Timoska was pretty decent. | |

You'd have Polter and Sylla over what we've got in attack now. | | | |

Frank Clarke. Proper centre forward. Tough and reliable.
Also agree re Martin Busby. Pure class who would have been a real star but for his horrendous broken leg. The only time I have actually heard the crack of bones breaking at a game. | | | |

100% I thought he would go right to the top | | | |

Steve Palmer
Was the first ‘Captain’ we had since Macca
Wasn’t flashy never injured and was hugely important under Holloway for turning it round and getting back to the Championship
Got dogs abuse when playing in Midfield but was versatile dependable and came over as a decent bloke
I liked him | | | |

Frank was close to being the perfect partner for Rodney. I still feel that it was due to Clarke being injured that Chelsea won so comfortably in the FA Cup 6th round.
Thank you Duncan Forbes!  | | | |

Has anyone mentioned Nigel Spackman already? | | | |

Loved Impey, was quick, aggressive and didn’t take any shiit.
Seem to remember himself enjoying the occasional confrontation with the oppo, mists of time but I think there was a tasty one against Leeds? | | | |

Bradley Allen springs to mind for me. A great little striker who was always in the shadow of Ferdinand.
Also agree with an earlier comment on Marcus Bignott. Did a lot of donkey work for team with no fuss and could be quite skillful at times. | |

Sent off at Coventry the day that doomed us. Not a great idea. Also sent off in the Cup against Barnsley, but helped make a great day even better. | | | |

Disagree,he did the donkey work allowing wilkins to do his stuff. | |

In my view, a common misconception that arose long after the time. Maybe to try and big up his (dubious) managerial skills and profile. I certainly don't remember many R's fans at the time thinking that Holloway was of any use.
When Barker - good player, but hardly a world beater - was alongside Super Ray instead of Holloway we were a million times better. And so was Wilkins. "Was Wilkins' legs" - I'm sorry, I must have missed it at the time.
But - I am probably wrong. Usually am. | | | |

Damion Stewart
Kaspar Gorkks
Wayne Routledge
Adel. Didn't even get player of the year. | | | |

Steve Palmer. Smart - in every sense - and a good solid pro.
Aziz Ben Askar. When we had 4/5 of fúck all he came in and just looked awesome. A completely left field pick but improved us massively at the back. | |

Got to totally disagree!!!
I’ll agree I gave him stick for not having technical ability but, when not playing you totally appreciated what he brought to the party.
Let’s be fair an all - he had ability as well - to get into the team you had to.
Never forget his goal up Newcastle which nearly got me killed | |

Clive Wilson and David Bardsley should have been the England full backs. I thought they were both outstanding.
Slightly more recently, I also agree with the shout outs for Steve Palmer. Not as a midfielder though. | | | |

I think you mean Barker. Announcing Holloway was starting was usually met by groans of disappointment in the Loft & Ellerslie. | |

Nope, Holloway was vastly underrated as stated, covered all the ground. Even Frank McLintock raved about him on MOTD once.
However I do agree that Barker was better and might have got an England call up if he hadn’t picked up that bad injury.
Also agree on Palmer, couldn’t get all the negativity about him, Ben Askar a classy player who I believe wanted to go back to France also Micky Leach. | | | |

Steve palmer defo winning this vote and mine excellent leader never had a captain as good since in my eyes. Also Matthew rose is a good shout can I push for marcus bean ? Thought he was solid and never gets mentioned as much as others in the 04 team | |
