You only know their "club men" after the fact but good candidates in recent years include Rufer, Ball, Fenton, Taylor, Payne. You can also include the likes of Ollie because of the players you listed Bertos, Daniel, Manny, Durante, Lia, all continued their professional careers outside of the nix (most turning out for other a league clubs).  Only Ifill (through injury), Brown, and Greenacre actually retired here.

I think you're looking at those teams through the lens of nostalgia and we've got quite a lot of players who are committed to the club. Maybe even more than back then, some of these players actually grew up fans then came up through the academy, the club has been part of their lives their whole lives.

A player like Rufer and before him Fenton might play his entire career at the one club.


'lens of nostalgia'. what a load of rubbish. 

and also a patronising may to dismiss someone's opinion.

his opinion was there were a bunch of club men that you knew were never going to play for other a league clubs, except half of them did play for other a league clubs. So yes, there is some sort of bias in that opinion, in my opinion.

well, thank goodness you were here to set him straight. 

the process of having an opinion is not "bias". it's an opinion.
