STAN BOWLES, QPR

What can you say about this QPR legend, he had it all skill, self confidence and charisma. I was fortunate to see him play in London in the late 70s and even though I wasn't a QPR fan (far from it) it was always an enjoyable afternoon when Stan was on song.
David Morgan

He was a cheeky chappy but when on song you couldn't touch him, the only shame was that his England form wasn't replicated.
Ken

In the greatest QPR team of all time, Stan was the maestro. His game on the pitch were matched by his antics off the pitch and the stories that you read about Stan are the stuff of legends. Stan was Mr Entertainment and when you look back now you realise how much talent that man had and you wonder why he didn't collect more England caps and how much would he be worth on the transfer market today. Even today 30 years on, when you see Stan down at Loftus Road he receives hero worship from the young and old alike.
Brian Power

What a character (he said the only better player that lived was George Best) and one of the most naturally gifted English players that ever lived. I remember reading that he made a bet before a game where he dribbled the ball from one side of the pitch to the other to knock the FA Cup over with the ball (they used to put it beside the pitch in their day). A legend!
Phil Fitzgerald

Blessed with sublime skill and vision, Stan was at best unpredictable but always entertaining, as long as his mind wasn't on the 3.30 at Epson!
Bill Duncan

Cheeky and brilliant as well as having a left foot that could spread butter.
Allan Grogre

PAUL GASCOIGNE, TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

In his time, one of the most imaginative and self destructive footballers England has seen.
Chris Matthews, Canada

The best player I have ever seen, probably had the best season of his life in 1990/1991 after coming away from Italia 1990 a star. With the help of Gary Lineker he pulled Tottenham all the way to the FA Cup final including beating our North London rivals 3-1 in the first ever FA Cup semi-final at Wembley - no Spurs fan will ever forget that amazing free-kick past Seaman. And as Gazza so often does, from the highest high to the lowest low - stretchered off in the Final following a stupid tackle on Gary Charles, and out injured for a year - his last appearance in a Spurs shirt - at least he got a winners' medal.
Mark Lawson

We at Spurs saw the best of him. He was just one of the best players to grace White Hart Lane, oh and he scored the most famous Cult goal against the Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final, that still gets a huge cheer every time it's shown.
Findlay, Herts

Gazza could single-handedly beat any team in the world with a moment of magic and he liked his ale!
Jona Aucott

A star that shone very brightly for a short time. If he hadn't injured himself in the Nottingham Forest Cup final and Spurs hadn't sold him to Lazio, he would have been one of the all-time greats.
Roger Bull

Love him or hate him he was good to watch hey? The guy brought the media into the game more which got everyone interested in football, kept you on the edge of your seat and scored great goals - remember that free-kick to put Arsenal out of the FA Cup semis?
James Thompson

An enigmatic genius whose injuries & drink problems blighted what would've been a magnificent career! Such a shame that he had such a great Cup semi in 91 against Arsenal with that 30 yard rocket past Dave Seaman, then blew it in the final when the pressure got too much!!
Jordan Barker

JOHN WARK, IPSWICH TOWN

Always likely to score and a great inspiration to those around him.
Ken Ingham

John Wark has to be the ultimate, for so many reasons. Between his first and last game for Ipswich, 21 years passed. OK, he went to Liverpool in-between to replace that other handsome Scot Souness, but he came back to his roots. He was winner of the European Golden Boot Award in 1981 (I think it was then...), his record held for about 16 years until Jurgen Klinsmann came and ruined the party for him. That was when he was a genius striker. Following that he became a midfield general and a defensive rock, a first team coach (for three games), a youth team coach and now a scout. All that and he has never lost his Glasgee accent or his porn star 'tache. Respect is yours John Wark.
Stephen Howse

Talk about midfielders that score goals, and Jonny is your man.
Will Marston

A moustachioed monster in whatever role he performed. We got relegated in the season he shaved it off at Christmas.
Kevin Maule

I lost track of the number of times Warky signed for the club but he was a fantastic servant through the years from the glory days of the Bobby Robson era when he was all over the pitch to the point that they gave him a zimmer frame on caster wheels during his final season. Still connected with the club, I think as a scout.
James Belton

Defender/Midfielder/Attacker- all quality. If he was playing now he would be worth £40m with all those goals from midfield. Loved the team so much he joined us 3 times!!
Matt Thomas

STUART McCALL, BRADFORD CITY

Bradford City through and through, he epitomises the spirit required to play for a club like ours - guts, determination, loyalty, and his affection for the club is obvious to anyone who speaks to him. The work he put in with the club after the fire in 1985 is now legendary, visiting countless people in hospital, and doing more than his fair share of fundraising work. He is the first to put his name down for any benefit games related to the club, and also played a key role in the game we had a couple of months ago to raise vital funds to keep the club alive during our financial difficulties this summer. The good humour he shares with fans is also immense, and he is a legend at this club. To not have him as one of the cult heroes would be a scandal. He is Mr Bradford City.
Tony Bates

For Being Mr Bradford City by keeping his promise to return after his prime time.
James Wilcock

Bradford through and through.
Roman Migowski

Loves this Club as much as we do. Been with us through the worst of times as well as the best. Claret & Amber through & through.
Katherine Lawrenson

Red haired, committed, never-say-die approach. Enthusiasm for the club and the fans, taking us to the Premiership and falling off a car whilst celebrating with a can of beer. His contribution to the Save City appeal.
Sue Wellings

An inspiration on and off the field. When I edited the fanzine and Stuart was a young player I did an interview with him about the management in which he was quite critical. He got into bother with the club and I went to apologise. He couldn't have been nicer. Both on and off the pitch he helped young players. He always has time for people and gives the lie to the theory that footballers are overpaid morons. As a player he was, and still is, tremendous.
Mick Dickinson

TONY CURRIE, SHEFFIELD UNITED

A gifted player who always delighted the crowd with his skills.
David Nunn

What an entertainer! A privilege to watch, a true maestro.
Ian Ferraby

He made the crowd buzz with anticipation whenever he got the ball, and as John Motson said of one of his great goals: "A quality goal by a quality player".
Mike Jolly

He was simply awesome in midfield, classy with a great shot from distance. He could dribble, hold the ball under pressure (what could that do for the national team now!) and could pass the ball 60 yards and land it on a sixpence. He had a telepathic understanding with Alan Woodward and made many goals for him. If England had had a manager who liked flair he would have had more caps and earlier. He had to wait till he was at L**ds before he got the recognition and that was after his best form had ended. He scored a fantastic goal against WHU which John Motson described as "a quality goal from a quality player" and he got 10 out of 10 in the review in the Sunday paper for that game. He now organises football in the community for the Blades.
Pete Livesidge

All-time favourite crowd pleaser. Would have been an England regular if he'd have played for a more fashionable club.
Scott Sargeant

Crowd pleaser as well as being United's best post-war player. Immortalised by John Motson's "a quality goal by a quality player" commentary.
Tony Damms

IAN HOLLOWAY, BRISTOL ROVERS

Die-hard Gashead as player and manager.
Anon.

Ian always gave 110% whether playing or managing, whether doing well or bad. Further, his after match comments which are now legendary, started at Bristol.
Nick Church

Simply Bristol Rovers through and through.
Rob Baker

He typified what Gasheads think 'being Gas' is all about - spirit, determination and not a bad player either. Hated losing, hated City - which was always going to endear to those of us who live on the right side of the river. As a manager he had Rovers playing by far the best football I have seen from a Rovers side in 30 years of watching. Admittedly slightly mad and will probably end up as one of those old blokes you see out jogging talking to themselves.
Rex Lowther

Ian Holloway is Bristol Rovers as much as Bristol Rovers is Ian Holloway. Here is a man that cannot detach himself from a club even when he no longer works for us. He is a cult hero because he has given Rovers more that what the fans can give them - loyalty, money, goals and belief.
Cheltenham Gas

I watched Ollie as a player-manager and he brought a belief back to the club and was the most passionate person I have ever seen at Bristol Rovers during my years watching. He was proud to manage and play for Bristol Rovers and made me and so many others proud to be a Gashead.
Martyn Werrett

ROBIN FRIDAY, CARDIFF CITY & READING

He was the epitome of a "flawed genius," graced with incredible talent, but having a wild and unpredictable temperament that could see him kissing a policeman one match, pulling down an opponent's shorts in a second, and being sent-off and taking a dump in the opposition's bath in a third. Robin Friday was one of those characters that only crop up in football only once or twice in a lifetime. Anyone who saw him play for Hayes, Reading or Cardiff will tell you he was a flawed genius - wild and unpredictable on and off the field, yet with a footballing talent that surpassed anything any of us had ever seen.
Tony Chapman

Never saw him play but he's a legend at Reading. Playboy lifestyle and the best football player you never heard of.
Steven Brewerton

Every Reading fan I'm sure has put him as number 1. The ultimate football bad boy, but with such talent. Even a book has been written about his remarkable career...
Matt Williams

A genius of dubious temperament, so much so, that an album cover picture was of him giving the two fingered salute to the Luton keeper after having just scored a great goal - the keeper having previously tried to foul him in a non-subtle manner.
Simon Whittaker

Off his head. Sublime skill and heavy drinker. Famous for his hat-trick for Cardiff v Luton Town and flashing the 'V' sign to the distraught keeper. Star of the cult football book 'Greatest player I never saw'.
Robert Pearce

Mad, bad and dangerous to know, clearly, but the most exciting player I ever saw play for us. Unfortunately his off-field activities proved to be his most abiding interest (and his eventual undoing).
Andrew Leyshon

Purely for his reaction to the Luton goalkeeper after scoring a belter against him back in the seventies! Also the inspiration behind the Super Furry Animals single 'The Man Don't Give A ****'.
Anon

'VODKA' VIC KASULE, ALBION ROVERS

Memorably described by The Guardian as "an armoured car of a winger with a cannon for a shot", 'Vodka Victor' was an extravagantly gifted but ludicrously ill-disciplined Glaswegian-Ugandan winger.
