I voted for Hoddle for the simple reason that we played some brilliant Football when he was in charge and i wasn't around to witness our team play when Ardiles and Macari were around.

I voted Sam Allen, I thought he deserved at least one vote and he 's been dead for like 50 years, so would scare the shit out of the opposition.


   You could make out a pretty good case for Sam....despite your spectral fantasies....he lived in Kent Road as well.

For me it's between Macari, Ardiles and Hoddle.

And due to the fact that without the players Macari found, both Ossie and Glenn would not have had the foundations Macari left.

On that basis I've gone for Lou, but it was a tough call.

I'd go for Lou. Despite that Hoddle's team played some F'in sexy footy. I never actually saw a Macari team but as others have said, if it was not for him then we could well be minnow league right now.

I knew that. I've always wondered if it was my house. Better odds that winning the lottery. I'd imagine the rewards are less though.

Macari, simply because he was manager when my dad first took me to the County Ground, and my early memories of supporting Town are that we kept winning.

Tough decision.

I really enjoyed the Macari years, but it was not the most pleasing on the eye, and it was at a lower level. Great to see us overpowering teams and levels of fitness were astounding.

Ardiles put together a side who would have had more chance of staying in the top flight

Hoddle's side was outstanding, but relied a fair bit on his on pitch skills

I'll go for Ardiles. I'll save Hoddle for one of the players roles.
