phil bonnyman
I did consider Mr Bonnyman for this accolade but I forgave him on the fact that it was him who placed that free kick on Wilko's head at Goodison back in 1984.

I cannot believe the stick Phil Bonnyman is getting in this thread. A regular in midfield in the team that attained our highest league placing since just after the war. Are people trying to say that the rest of his team mates carried him? Far more deserving candidates IMO

I think it may have something to do with the big build-up and anticipation when we signed him. IIRC it was announced in the paper that we were signing a well-renown central midfielder who was a household name and I think most people just thought "Who?" when his name was announced. I think he was on a loser even before he had kicked a ball.

Phil was a good player. This is just the same criticism of a central midfield player who holds the ball and picks the pass that we seem to get all the time at BP. One minute we are screaming for midfielders to get rid and get stuck in, the next we are dreaming about having a class passer in there. Can't win can they? The only midfielder who could possibly suit the Town fans would have to dribble like Johnny Scott or Dave Gilbert pass like Andy Peake or Dave Boylen run all day like Joe Waters get in the box like Shaun Cunnington or John Cockerill shoot like Ron Cockerill tackle like Bobby C Anything less and they are a Boshell.

Not sure how many games overall he played but it seemed like more than bloody 100. Jason Pearcey couldn't do anything right. Couldn't catch couldn't block and was generally only made to look good by Tommy Forecast

Clearly Mumbo didnt see any of Slades 2nd season because the amount of games Reddy put the jeepers up defenders with his pace was amazing. He was rough round the edges but he was an impact player. I'm with Poojah on the Sladeball thing, I thought in the second season we played some really attacking pacey stuff, espically the home smashing of Notts County
Its tough to pick somebody who played over 100 games as generally the players who have played for Town and played over 100 games in my era of supporting (since 91) were good solid players. It's the players who have been here a season or less who are generally in my worst 11
I'm going to go for Danny Boshell, I only remember having one good game at BP. He was a midfielder who offered nothing coming forward or in a defensive role

Pearcey played 49 times for Town.
