Your clubs Mt Rushmore

Heard this on talksport and got me thinking.

Since I started watching Vale in 87;

Rudge, obviously. Us lucky enough to have seen Vale through the 80s and 90s were spoilt. 3 promotions, 3 visits to Wembley, 9 seasons in the Championship. Legend.

Robbie Earle - his goal took us to the Championship for the first time in decades.

Dean Glover - as a player he brought so much class to our defence I've never seen anyone better in that position in a Vale shirt. Lifted our 1st ever trophy at Wembley. Luckily for him he did enough as a player to gloss over his time as manager.

Tough last one, between Pope and Foyle, but Foyle just gets it for me. Was our top scorer when we got promoted in 94. He scored two iconic goals v Stoke for our 1st competitive win against them in decades, and regularly scored in higher divisions.

Would have thought Kevin Randall & Ernie Moss would have made your list?

I was going to say these are only two I think were possibly missing although both before my time

Do I choose Wimbledon or AFC Wimbledon? I view them as different clubs. I'll stick with AFC Wimbledon.

Jon Main. Top scorer in the National League South. Scored an amazing goal in the Ryman playoff semi final then scored a hattrick against Newport in our first match in the Conference South.

Danny Kedwell. Best mates with Jon Main. Prolific goalscorer and scored the last penalty in our Conference playoff final against Luton.

Terry Brown. Masterminded three promotions from the Ryman League to League Two.

Lyle Taylor. Such a character and scored many goals for us including in the L2 playoff final against Plymouth. I'll always remember collapsing with laughter when he continually distracted the Barnet goalkeeper by tapping on his shoulder. Lyle scored.

Definitely different clubs. One formed in May 2002 and the other moved to Milton Keynes in September 2003 and became MK Dons in June 2004.

Since I started watching in 2004
Jack Lester
Paul Cook
Tommy Lee
Evatt? Allott? Niven? Morsy?

Top 3 were easy, a fourth is harder

Alick Jeffrey, before my time but still hailed as the best player for us.
Jamie Coppinger
Sean O’Driscoll
Ian Snodin

Take it from me Jeffrey was an excellant player. Saw him in the early 60's at Eastville.

 

[Youpies]

Iremonger
Lawton
Masson
Stallard

Would keep mine to players not managers

Zippy and Bungle don't agree they say he was a knob.
