Okay, we've had more than enough dross to remember but who do you think is our best player of the last 10 years. I've just come up with these off the top of my head so may have missed someone obvious. If you think someone else then post that on here. I've not included any loanees like Dean Henderson.

Just a note, I didn't include Alan Connell as I thought he may have been longer than 10 years ago but just checked and he played for us until 2011, so I could have included him, but only have the 7 options.

Later than that too Les. He re-signed for a short stint the season before we went up although it was less fruitful than the first. There are club legends on this list but a fit Liam Hearn is the best player on the list.

I wouldnt call anyone dross though Les. All relative as there will always be someone better worse than you in football. Reflects life as without variety things dont continue.

I think where the real shame in sport lies is in people who have ability and then squander it by putting in little effort to improve themselves or taking the easy route.

Likewise if you look at the percentages as stated before on another thread its hard to make it in league 2 let alone higher up if you look at the number of children/players coming through the youth ranks/academy's at varying degrees of the football pyramid.

Has to be Omar just by virtue of the level he performed at and the level he went on to play at. Not sure Pearson should be on that list, loved him but wasn’t even a regular starter when we got promoted.

Only saw him  a couple of times but what was apparent for me in them 2 games was his mindset. Committed to the cause. I love that in a player .

Hard to judge really...if you judge it on players that made huge impacts then Podge and Bogle probably take the top two spots...if we’re after consistency and someone who led the club then Dizza for me.

Don’t remember him ever having a particularly excrement game and always chipped in with the important goals. And he was as drunk as the fans for a week after we went up...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Disley without a shadow of a doubt.  Only player from that era that can be classed as a GTFC legend in my opinion.

Charles Vernam is the best player IMO. But we released him on a Bosman when we could have at least activated an extension.
