In 2008 we celebrated the 150 year milestone by coming up with a list of 150 heroes of the best/most important footballers to grace our club.
The 150 players named as heroes are listed below:
Next year will be our 160th year as a club and it had me wondering what a list of 160 Heroes would look like.
For me it raised the following questions:
-Which 10 players would you add to the list?
-Would you exclusively pick the best 10 players of the last 10 years, or would you instead look at picking players from other eras that were overlooked?
-Would you omit anyone from the current list of 150 heroes?
-Does Jack Viney the 160 already or has he not been at the club long enough?
For mine I'd remove Chris Connolly (only played 84 games) from the 150 and add the following 11 players: Nathan Jones (2006-), Aaron Davey (2004-2013), Neil Cromton (1957-1966), Lynden Dunn (2005-2016), Colin Garland (2007-2017), James Frawley (2007-2014), Mark Jamar (2002-2015), Nathan Brown (1998-2007), Colin Sylvia (2004-2013), Brent Moloney (2005-2012) and Billy Deans (1942-1950)
