In the Trenches....

Mentioned in the latest Samba thread that unlike many of the current squad you'd want him beside you in the trenches, ie when the going gets tough....

Put simply - which present or former Rs would you want beside you when things turned ugly? Who could hand out stick?

Alan McDonald would help. ;)

[Hubble]

Clint, obviously, probably Sean Derry as well. Don't forget we've had some right bruisers at the Rs - Vinny Jones and Neil Ruddock spring to mind...

Funnily enough was talking to a Spurs Fan the other day & Gavin Maguires name came up ..........

But for me Martin Allen would be high on the list along side the others mentioned.

forgot about the latter two. Would you say either were in their X rated prime with us? Interesting to see if we could put out an 11 of hard men, inc keeper.....

Like NW said Martin Allen niggled away....

Amazed no-one has mentioned Olly , as a player and a manager he gave everything for the club.

Terry Fenwick

[Ginger Ninja]

Any one of the 03/04 promotion squad, Shaun Derry, Clint Hill, Jamie Mackie.
None blessed with that much talent, but will always fight to the last and give 110%.

Adel... need someone to hide behind!
