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.

G. Allen, S.Lontis and K. Botcher the real core of the team IMO
