Personally I wouldn't put Denis Law in there. Yes, he's a football legend, but he was nobbut a lad at Huddersfield, barely learning his trade. He went on to be a genuine legend in Manchester and with Scotland, but at Huddersfield?
Frank Worthington as well. Started with us but had to leave to become a football legend.
I'm surprised that the name of Alex Smithies isn't there. According to a lot of people, he was the one who won us that match at Wembley.
Seriously though, why no keeper in that list? Terry Poole, Bob Hesford, Billy Mercer, Sandy Mutch.
The one stand out missing name for me, apart from Alex Jackson, is Dave Mangnall. 73 goals in 90 appearances, has the most goals per game ratio in the club's history.
My 14 would be:
Clem Stephenson
George Brown
Dave Mangnall
Alex Jackson
Billy Smith
Billy Mercer
Tom Wilson
Alf Young
Jimmy Glazzard
Ray Wilson
Jimmy Nicholson
Malcolm Brown
Peter Jackson
Andy Booth
I may add some more that I've forgotten, but I think my list reflects more the legendary status of our past glories as well as some of the more modern legends, which to be honest, we don't really have.
I love Peter Clarke, but for his name to appear on the list is quite frankly embarrassing.
