Cmon, that’s got to be in spite of me!

No i actually had them at number 1 before you post came up it took me a long time to think of my top 10

[brent]

In no particular order... and yes, its unashamedly a list of bays players I thought were legends growing up in the 90's, with a few current day players for good measure. Geez I left a fair few out but what can you do. I bet I forgot a stack too.

Nick Chigwidden
John Fidge
Jim West
Paul Sherwood
Alan Bartlett
Brett Backwell
Simon Hele
Ross Gibbs
Scott Salisbury
Stephen Kernahan


honorable mention from another club - michael aish

[youngster]

Peter Motley
Phil Heinrich
Rick Davies
Stephen Kernahan
Gowans x 2
Malcolm Blight
Damian Squire

[am Bays]

I'm biased and opposition players never really interested me as a spectator was only ever interested in going and watching Glenelg players

Graham Cornes
Peter Carey
Steven Kernahan
Chris McDermott
Kym Hodgman
Nick Chigwidden
Scott Salisbury
Ross Gibbs
Tony Symonds
Tony Hall

When watching full time as a Glenelg official I had a grudging respect for Tim Ginevar and Bruce Lennon

[G]

Although Im far from an expert on anything concerning Glenelg, I feel Tassies list makes Brents list look like a B grade squad. One list contains Legends and the other some blokes who were solid reliables.
Mind you it asked for favourites not best - [ just an unbiased observation]

[Dirko]

Jade Sheedy
Brodie Atkinson

10 most disliked players...(for a variety of reasons)...

Brian Leys
Scott Salisbury
Wayne Stringer
Allen Stringer
Gary McIntosh
Phil McGuiness
Clive Waterhouse
C Gowans
J Gowans
Brodie Atkinson (when he was at North. isn't it amazing what a different guernsey can do to your opinion of a player!)

5 most frustrating players...

Stephen White
Jarrad Twitt (98 GF)
Brant Chambers (pre 06)
Merv Katinyeri
Luke Jarjoura

I really wish I'd been around to watch Ebert, Robran, Cornes, Bagshaw, Davies, Roberts, etc.

Most of all, I wish I was just a couple of years older and had not missd out on seeing P Motley in action...

[JK]

Im surprised none of the Sturt fans include Scotty Field in their lists ... Always thought he was the one who most took it up to our greatest player of the 80s/90s.

[Cambridge Clarrie]

True CP. He was one of the few standouts during those dark, dark days...
