I had to laugh when I looked at this. At goalkeeper, Scott Bevan better than Terry Adlington and Mervyn Gill? Really? Older supporters will say, I am sure, that those two should at least be in the top five. There are many other anachronisms. For instance, at full back, Tom Kelly better than Colin Bettany, who many older supporters will be in no doubt was the best player in that position the club has ever had? Reg Wyatt as low as 19 among the centre backs, lower than Wayne Thomas? Larry Baxter, the best winger in the club's history, as low as 12? Ron Shaw should also be in the top five. Dennis Lewis was a wing half, not a winger. I suppose that Kevin Hill will be among the top 7 wingers, what a joke!
It is clear that most of those who have voted have been too young to have seen the top players of the 50s and 60s. That is not their fault, and everyone is entitled to voice their opinions about the players they have actually seen, but this poll serves only to highlight the folly of asking supporters to make these kinds of selections.
The whole exercise is a total waste of time.
