My list from my lifetime:
1. Sturrock
Reason: Luggy was in charge during my first season supporting the club, two promotions, a team of real spirit and character. Not only that, a great guy and loves the club, not to mention all the donations for the staff's pay.
2. Ro
It's rare you get a player with that much dedication and loyalty, a model professional, so much passion and a fine goalkeeper in his day.
3. David Frio
Self explanatory, I don't ever go to HP and not hear his name mentioned. A real legend who certainly carved his place in the history books.
4. Luke McCormick
Always nice to include a player who was here at the start of his career (and most likely the end). He was my childhood hero, we watched him grow from a prospect to a keeper on the verge of the top flight and he would without much doubt be a PL keeper now if it wasn't for what happened. But now he's come back he's still a great keeper. Lovely guy and loves the club.
5. Mickey Evans
Self explanatory again I think. When you looked at him you thought "you shouldn't be any good", but oh he was. Remember his last game against ipswich, scored the winning goal and the entire team piled on top of him.
6. Carl Fletcher
Probably not one many will pick, but a club legend who often isn't recognised as one due to how it all ended. A great midfielder and captain, could have jumped ship after either relegation but he was a loyal servant and went unpaid for longer than any other I believe. He wasn't a great manager but I could never doubt his passion. I wanted him out but never disliked him. Legend to me.
So, when was it that you saw Sturrock play then Cobi??
