Was going to just post a list of my favourite players from the 90s, but thought what if you had to choose one player only from each year? If they can only be chosen for the year they made their debut, it makes interesting reading (Hirst, Sheridan, Palmer & Nilsson were all signed prior to 1990)...

90: Wilson

91: Anderson

92: Waddle

93: Walker

94: Whittingham

95: Degryse

96: Carbone

97: Di Canio

98: Thome

99: Sibon

Thoughts? Disagree with my choices? Have I missed anyone?

Degryse was a smashing little player. Really cute on the ball. The little give and goes.

Getting it in tight spots and popping it back out. 

Very much the modern ideal really.

Started trying to do 2000 onwards year by year, had to stop because it was too depressing...

So, here's my list of our best players since 2000 (several signed in the same year!): Brunt, Bullen, Whelan, Maclean, Tudgay, JJ, Buxton, Semedo, Westwood...

Whatever happens, the next 15 years can't be as bad as the last 15 years!
