Cult heroes of the noughties.

Sorry Webbo but I think we should consider renaming this topic Shit players of the noughties because with one or two exceptions most of those listed were and many didn't have anything cultish about them.

It makes me feel ill reading some of the names.

A positive thread to change the mood a bit. As the decade is coming to a close lets look back at fans favourites of the last 10 years.

Not necessarily the best player but a player who could make you smile or get you going. Try and say a few words why as well if possible. I'll go first;

Danny Tiatto; What I love in a player and just what you'd expect from an Aussie. An up and at 'em, hard tackling, have a go type player.

I remember when I first saw him playing for Man City on MOTD thinking I wish he played for us and then Mickey Adams signed him.

I know he wasn't everybody's favourite but I thought he was great.

My problem with Tiatto was simular to the Oakley thing right now. He was stuck out on the left, but spent 99% of the game in the middle of the park. Was very competative and never pulled out of a tackle, but when we needed an out let on left he wasn't there. I used to get really frustrared with. Same with Oakley on the right wing now. Some people might say that being played out of position is not fair on a player, but if you're told to do a job, do it.

So for me, Tiatto flattered to deceive. Put his foot in a lot, very competative, but caused problems in the balance of the team for me.

:D Tbf there hasn't been many players in the last 10 years that we could appreciate for their skill. We have to dream up some excuse to cheer them.

Always wanted him to sign. Shame we always played the ball in the air, because he is a fantastic footballer - uses both feet and his control was brilliant. Never forget his goals against Norwich, Hull and Bolton. He would have been an awesome player if he got stuck in more than what he did. Bit like Andy King

James Scowcroft

Brian Deane

I would go for Stef Oakes - Always great to see local talent in the side and I used to work with his mum in Kwik Save in Birstall :-)

One of many promising youngsters in the noughties that never quite fulfilled their talent.

Alan Sheehan

Matt Heath

Matt Piper

Stuart Campbell

Stuart Wilson

Tommy Wright

That was depressing looking up their careers on Wikipedia.

Theo Zagorakis

Matt "last goal at Filbo" Piper

Ben Thatcher

Les Ferdinand

Has he retired? It'd be a shame if injury has forced him to quit. :(

Surely it's either Big Barry, Sappletizer, DJ or Levi.

Surely he's only a hero to Smuts :D
