    As a kid I used to love Ray Houghton & Steve McManaman. I'll never forget Houghton's goal in 1994 vs Italy and McManaman's performance in the 1995 league cup final. Still to this day the best individual performance I have ever seen. Very underrated player!

    George Best, Gordon Banks & Alan Hudson.
    Used to be a big fan of Burnley/QPR winger Dave Thomas too, apart from the fact he played on the left, he was a sort of poor mans Jimmy Johnstone. He always used to play with his socks rolled down and no shin pads, which I (and many others) used to copy- probably not the brightest thing to do.
