I bet most followers of any sports team have favs who weren't perhaps of the first rank talent-wise. On that note I give you the immortal Perry Groves:



Best remembered for his uncompromising gingerness, having the first touch of a nervous virgin & for setting up both of Charlie Nicholas's goals in the 86/87 Littlewoods Cup win over Liverpool. Famously the first occasion when Ian Rush scored and Liverpool lost.

Mike Garnham!

Would put Iain O'Brien on the list, but he's very heralded. Very.
