I would have thought that Frank Burrows would rate 2 to 3 stars.
Trevor Anderson 2 star.
Possible inclusion at 1 star for Arthur Horsfield, Wayne Allison, Ross MacLaren & Colin Prophett

I think us older ones would place Maurice Owen in the middle, probably 3 stars. Oh, and this Bob Menham - is John Menham distantly related to him (anybody not knowing John, he is the guy in the wheelchair who likes a pint or three!).
Yes, John Menham is related to both him and me. His father was my Grans brother. When Bob retired he ran The Castle Inn in Prospect Place which was where my gran was born and where we held her wake when she died a few years back... Bobs photo hangs on the wall in the County Ground Hotel to this day next to Harold Fleming |

Stan Harland should be a 4, not a 2.
Captain of the team that beat Arsenal.
237 games for Town , and would have had 200 more if it had not been for Dave Mackay.
Different class to the likes of Dave Bamber

Off to Leeds for the Cyber Robins tournement soon, but I like reading the commnets. Especially from the older and younger readers. I'll have a look when I get back and try to reflect the veiws of the TEF.
Btw, Batch is right about the cult status vs. legend, I think.

Loving this! Downsborough and Kenny Allen should feature.
Hoddle should be in the 5 star category irrespective of his short tenure and then nature of his departure. James Milner in as a one star. I've never seen a loan player get such an amazing ovation after his last game with us vs. Sheffield U. Ross McLaren was always underrated.
Digby deserves 5 stars.
Kerslake should at least be a 2 star.

* Old git alert *
From my childhood Maurice Owen - craggy, classic bald-headed No 5 - deserves a 5* for playing over 500 matches for us if nothing else.
From Bert's babes Ernie Hunt and Buzzer both 5*. Played plenty of games, so loyal, and had skills we can only dream of. They proved it in the top division.
Not mentioned I think, but close to the top in my eyes: good old Roger Smart. There's never been any other player who ran so many miles for the cause. Spoke to Mad Frankie Burrows one time about 'the best player in the '69 team'. He had no doubts, it was Smartie. He did all the fetching and carrying so the skillful ones could perform. 341 matches, 43 goals over a decade, fit as a fiddle even when playing non-league for Trowbridge.
As for cult status: my first hero was Bronco Layne, for getting 4 goals at Bath in a cup replay. Hardly saw him play but the name and goals did it for this spotty youth.
Too bad he went off the rails with the Swan/Gould match fixing scandal later on. Collapse of hero status.
