My last response is directed to Flash

[medlocke]

No Lockers on the list?

[ancientnloyal]

Add him on Medders.

I’d have Davy Vaeliki but alas I’d be on my own.

A bit difficult to compare over 120 years, Ancient and Loyal!

Anyway, I've been watching since 1968 and I think Bevan French is right up there with Hanley, Offiah, Gregory and Ashurst for the ability to take your breath away with spontaneous brilliance.

If you want a short list from antiquity, I would have liked to have seen the following play:

Bert Jenkins
Jimmy Leytham
Johnny Thomas
Charlie Seeling
Percy Coldrick

My granddad said they were good so they must have been!

Hard to say because you can’t compare like for like all I will say though he is a superb player and one when he has the ball you get ready to stand up because of his excellence

Maybe a bit of a outside shout but on his day, Henry Paul was absolutely magic
