We used to try and guess when he was going to make his step. All the season ticket holders around us would shout "NOW" at the same time

DEAN BELL. (hugh mcgann) DEAN CLARK. LEFT IN THE MIRE, THEY PULLED A SILK PURSE FROM A PIG EAR. Great achievements.

Lee Smith played in a good team, but he was definitely " Johnny on the Spot" in the GFs of that period .

JP was rightly recognised but it some of Kylie's hits must have left players struggling to remember their own name. Great front row pairing.

wasn't kylie recognised as a hero not an unsung one

Dunno. Give the groundbreaking signings thread a skim and tell me all those listed were better than the unmentioned Kylie.

he wasn't a fanfare signing and didn't look much to start with , now still looks stronger than a lot playing

He ruined someone in the JJB Burrow game at the start of the year, and looks like he could still play if he wanted to. Brilliant signing, and without him and those like him (if there have been any?) the flashier players do t get to do their thing.

Kylie was a great signing. The sort of overseas player we got that helped us to such success. When we stopped signing a big name to try and build a team around, and got a player to fit into what we already had.

Ditto.

As a Wiganer looking in from the outside i would 100% say that Ablett and Keinhorst top this list. One player in recent history i used to hate lining up against us was Ben Jones-Bishop. As soon as that ball went out to his wing i just knew he was going in (and usually did)

Andrew Dunemann is right up there for me.

Beat me to it. He was alongside Borrow and McGuire for their early years and was outstanding. Skillful and a very physical defender - which he showed off as replacement hooker when Diskin blew his knee out end of 2004 for GB.

I would add Martin Masella. A beast of a runner and put in some massive hits. Not hugely skillful but boy did he run into people hard - with and without the ball. Great player.

Going wayyy back I'd have to say Neil Hague was one of the most versatile and durable pros you would ever come across.
