XI
BEST: Wes Foderingham, Paul Bodin, Colin Calderwood, Glenn Hoddle [right], Shaun Taylor, Nicky Summerbee, Matt Ritchie, Kevin Horlock, Mark Walters, Duncan Shearer, Sam Parkin.
WORST: Joe Fryer, Kim Heiselberg, Des Linton, Marko Tuomela, Terry Fenwick, Alessane N'Diaye, Lawrie Sanchez, Kaid Mohamed, Jeremy Balmy, Islam Feruz, Petr Mikolanda.
PLAYER
B: Hoddle is the most talented player I've ever seen in a Town shirt, but I'm going to pick 'Super' Sammy Parkin - the shining light during our poverty-stricken early 2000s. He was always reliable, prolific and appeared to give a damn about the club.
W: 'Izzy' Feruz was the hottest prospect in Scottish football at one stage, yet I only have bad memories of him trying, and failing, to compete against Bristol Rovers' towering defence. He never played again after a torrid four games on loan from Chelsea in 2017.
MOMENT
B: Wembley, 1993 [above right]. Having been denied promotion in 1990 [Town won the Second Division play-off final but were later charged with breaching league rules], surviving the fallout and then seeing Hoddle guide us into the top flight via one of the most dramatic play-off finals in history is hard to top.
