Paul Raynor used to clap like a seal. I, once, almost threw him a fish. He always gave one hundred per cent to be fair, |
He was a horrible cnt at one away game v Cambridge, complained to the coppers he was getting abused by swans fans. Always thought the Raynor chant was a piss take. |  |

Geoff Thomas.
I would have given anything to see him and Ferrie Bodde both play in the same midfield. |  | | |

Ante, most probably the most consistent season of football by a defender at the vetch either brilliant or excellent.
Brian Evans Wyndham. Herbie and Mel, all tick my criteria box. |  | | |

Tommy Hutch, 44 years old he was and still making some players look silly. I suppose it's a measure of how rubbish the team is when a 44 yr old is one of your better players. | |

Phil Williams the goalkeeper in the mid 80's....he wasn't that tall and had a great attitude.
Hell of a throw on him as well.
Copper now I believe. |  | | |

Darren Perrett. All i can remember is the hair and that he was quick.
Joao Moreira. All arms and legs
Fallon. He should have been good.. |  |

Joao Moreira. That Brighton game was his pinnacle......his only performance by the Portuguese waiter. |  | | |

One of my earlier night games he ripped panathaniakos a new one I remember. The game we should have won but the ref ... | |

I think Tommy will take some beating in this thread. What a fantastic footballer and what an engine. I think he played almost a 1,000 games in his career. Fit as a butcher's dog. | |

Some top names there
The Allchurch brothers were renown in football during their playing careers in the 50's & 60's. Ivor was a better player | | | |

Tall, leggy player but very effective | | | |

We had Trundle on loan, not as good for Leeds as he was for Swansea although I think he was recovering from a serious injury at the time | | | |

Agreed. Tommy Hutchinson and Terry Phelan was a tidy little combination down the left. | | | |

Rajkovic was my first choice. But Trundle was a real entertainer. Used to get to the vetch early just to watch him warm up with his tricks. Often see him out n about...always says hello, good lad. |  | | |

Loads of those mentioned were too good to be cult heroes.
For one season early on after moving to the Liberty, a mate and I absolutely loved Tom Williams. He was generally average at best, but every now and then he'd go on a run down the left wing and beat a man or two. It usually ended with a poor cross or being tackled, but we loved it because it just looked so unlikely. We'd be going mental when he dribbled past someone and even more nuts on the very rare occasion he'd beat a second man. Everyone around us looked at us like we were loons. Which was probably true. |  |

He actually fits the title. He cost us £5.5m I think and was a capped Spanish international, so the anticipation was high. He was as likely to pass the ball straight to an opponent as do something great and while I liked him, he never lived up to the hype. He got plenty of abuse on here back in the day, but looked back on fondly in hindsight. Seem ridiculous that the best we could do when selling him during the Monk cull was taking a loss on him. | |

Seemed to flatter to deceive at the time even though I rated him - watching highlights of old games now he seems to be involved in almost all our goals at the time
Think we were all expecting pace which wasn’t his game at all |  |
