K us difficult for a 'pointless' as not too many so I will go with Derek Kevan. I can think of a more recent one whom I thought was brilliant for us but to easy.

The Tank was everyone's favourite, WCA, and a legend in USSR where they nicknamed him "The Locomotive" back in the late 50s when he played for England.
I actually played against him back in the 70s. (No great feat on my behalf. He was playing for Ansells Reserves in the B'ham Works League, and he was probably about 45!) He was quite a character on the pitch that day (where he played midfield!) but I didn't recognise him, and only realised who he was after the game when I signed the Teamsheet. So I missed a great chance to tell him he was my old idol.

He was a massive favourite of my Dad too, says he was Immense for The Albion. Don't think I got to see him play as my first game (which I can't remember) was when I was 4 in 1971
