In no particular order, they have all given more than they needed to have done, both on and off the field.

In the absence of a voting option for Tunna.....and, alas, because I never saw the legendary Swindells...

1. Jeff Johnson

A decade of phenomenal service in attack, then midfield and, finally, central defence.

2. John King

His arrival in 1977 was the catalyst that turned Alty from a good side into a team that won league championships and cups.

3. John Davison

Simply, a class act, whether at full back or in midfield.

Ronneeeeeeeeee Ellis. How could I leave him off the options?

Added.

[Dougals Dad]

Fantastic & enjoyable thread.

Mine are:

Heathcote (successful player & manager)
King (great character)
Swindells (the dad of a mate of mine saw him several times; was the best player he'd seen at this level)

As a 50 something it has to be Jackie Swindells. Some of the goals he scored were just unbelievable but one of the best if I my recollection is correct was against Hyde at Edgeley Park in a CSC replay. I think we won 7-1 and JS got 5 of them but I always have this memory of one being him receiving a Hoddle type crossfield pass and controlling it with his thigh on the touchline by the main stand and as it dropped volleying it top corner job from about 35 yards. It may all be a dream but maybe someone could confirm it!!

Second choice would probably be Jeff Johnson and I'd have to have my old man's favourite player, Mickey Brooke as third choice!! Used to love the chats I had a few years back with Mickey in our local B&Q and the stories he used to tell me of the old days. God help anyone who asked him for help as to where anything was.....he'd send them off round the store so he could carry on telling me about some exploit of Kingy's on trips home from London after another win!!
