Noel Hunt.
For continually taking the p1ss out of Alex McCarthy’s lack of skill during keepie-uppie sessions at half-time when they were both subs. And for trying to block an attempt on goal with his head whilst lying on the ground.

Honourable mentions of

Super Simon Osborn, convinced we’d won the league in 94-95 if he hadn’t missed a dozen or so games in early ‘95. Genius player
