My favourite unsung strikers David "Psycho" Cross and Paul "Sarge" Goddard John Sissons is a memory from my early days, well I was 5 at the time I have a colour Evening Standard pullout of the 64 final and a fresh face John Sissons is in the team photo at UP.........good memories. I also think that the Band that played on the pitch in the 60's and the Hammerettes are unsung heroes too xD Tim Breacher, Steve Lomas, Ian Bishop, John Mcdowell, Ronnie Boyce, Stevie Potts and George Parris……………….Geoff Pike , Patsy Holland.

I'll have my medication now , nurse..... yes Steamhammer of course you're right – memory playing tricks there…

Used to play alongside Peter Hucker, Nicky Morgan and Steve Whitton in the school team. Sadly none of these three enter this category, but were all good players.

The crowd loved him despite not seeing much of him. As for Reo-Coker above - the only Coker worth a mention is Ade.
