Pouton although this is definitely the toughest one so far.

I'll just say Pouton because this is just going to turn into the 97/98 squad + Danny Coyne. Actually how did Coyne get picked? Was it on a technicality because Davison left before the 99/00 season?

Coyne got picked because he got the most votes. It’s how this type of thing works. 😉

What's wrong with that? If the players in that squad were the best in their positions then we should say so shouldn't we?

If are we going to select inferior players in certain positions just because the leading contender has several team mates in the team already, then what really is the point?

We should just pick the best player in each position and see how it goes.

For me an on form Donovan is an obvious pick. At his best he was a real match winner for us.

Donovan was the best winger I've seen for us over that first season. I recall him taking Hearts (I think) to pieces in a pre-season friendly just after he joined and he continued that form until the end of the year.

If Richard Smith can be included when he was often a bit-part player during his time at the club, Donovan should be included as our best No. 7, even if he wasn't the same player after that first season.

Pouton for me. Donovan was great for one season but did the business in a good side. Pouton played in a far poorer side yet managed to get amongst the goals. Pouton encapsulated everything I want from a Town player.

I don’t think this will just be the 97/98 team alone, plenty of interesting options at numbers 8, 9 and 10.

Donno was unplayable that season. 20+ goals from the wing is something very few Grimsby players manage.
