Scott Dann is certainly skillful, great header of the ball and a thoroughly modern footballer.

BUT Jim Cannon was legendary. A great leader, fearless and would go on those mazy runs (ok he'd usually fall over at the end) but it got the crowd on their feet!

He also played with a number of partners (as you would if you played over 600 games) - the best for me was Billy Gilbert - the king of the sliding tackle but him and the giant Mickey Droy were also pretty formidable.

It was a sad day (and a brave move from Coppell) when he was eventually released.

No one mentioning Jeff 'tub of vaseline on the eyebrows' Hopkins? I think he's currently doing the Own Goal training.

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

Seems like Jim turned into a bit of a cvnt when Coppell arrived and the young black and somewhat brash footballers followed soon after.

Pity.

Jim Cannon.

I remember the Len Choules og Pete.
It was during a 0-2 home defeat to Carlisle in Div4.
A spectacular og., though Vic Rouse in goal was very slow to react to it as I remember.

Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link]

Chopper Howe pre dates Paul H. with his 'exquistely' timed mixture of sliding tackles, trips and shoves over the touchline.

Ian Evans undoubtedly, goal scorer as well. Closely followed by Cannon & Gilbert.

lo Selhurst silva felix, lo Selhurst cara nutrix, viget, vigeat, vigebit! Best team:- Jackson; Gilbert, Evans, Cannon, Sansom; Hughes, Kember, McNichol; Byrne, Holton, Wright.
