        You would have to add in Libba and Darcy, our top 6 for some time
        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Grant, equal with Drogba for my favourite ever sportsperson.

              Bubba easily. His mum was my kindergarten teacher and he grew up around the corner from me.
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Hawkins - in his prime would still make people in Todays game look stupid.

                          Grant - Marked what he wanted when he wanted, then could knock a flea off a dogs back from 40m with his opposite foot.

                          West - 36 possessions on a bad day. A lot of guys wouldn't have touched the ball half as much in their career if West wasn't getting them the ball.

                            Westy for me. I have a massive soft spot for him and was heartbroken when his services were no longer required.
                            Johnno a close second.

                              Wallis (Snr).
                              Then Dougie.
                              Then Grant.
