| Jason Flowers would be my pick.
Just a pity we got him at the end of his career, but that's Salford City Reds all over.

| Garry Jack for me.
I've narrowed my choice down to one of 3..
Gary Broadbent - Solid as. Great last line of defence, good under the high ball and given an extra yard or two of pace I reckon he would've been one of the best in the business. Not the best attacking full-back IMO but certainly better than anything we've had since the likes of GJ. Only remember his first couple of seasons as not a regular attender from around the 2000 season for a couple of years.
Johnny Wilshere - Pure class. Was prone to having the odd 'mare at FB but as previously mentioned by another poster pretty much able to play anywhere across the backline with his great hands and step. Would walk into my team of the noughties but probably at Centre.
Hodgy - The best attacking FB I can remember at Salford. Pace, great step and always a threat when returning kicks. As with JW, FB probably not his best position as he has spent the majority of his career on the wing and would walk into one of the wing spots in my noughties team.
I'm unable to comment on the likes of Flowers & Gibson as don't remember seeing them play much. On that basis it's GB for me.

Ken Gill could make the ball talk.: |

| It's difficult to pick a player for a position in isolation with the amount of switching about there is these days, but I do think John Wilshere has got to be somewhere in the thirteen and that's probably going to be at full back. He had got touches of class that other candidates did not have - and he could kick goals under pressure. It may be a bit unfair on Gary Broadbent who was one of the toughest and bravest full-backs around, but my vote would go for John Wilshere.
I think there's going to be quite a lot of discussion about every position except hooker as we move on through this selection debate.

| john wilshire for me after a lot of thought about what Gary Broadbent did for us especially that tackle against saints when he was sent off whilst being carried off, a very brave player but JW just shades it.

| It's a tricky one this. Broadbent was a great servant to the club, but possiby had is best seasons in the 90s, Fitzy has certainly been the longest servant within the decade and has been outstanding at time, but injured and hit or miss at others, Wilshere has been absolute class at times but has flitted between positions, andFlowers did a superb job in our promoton season (did he stay on for 2004?).
KOTS - have you got any stats on how many tries/appearances in the dacade?

| Scrap my last comment and put Wilshere in for Broadbent. FB isn't much of a contest (no disrespect to some of our FB's over the years) but think I could justify picking 2 decent Centres before Wilshere so Johnny moves to FB.

| I will have to go with fitzpatrick, brave as a lion, great under the high ball, great support runner, its a shame injuries have slowed him down a little in recent seasons so his confidence has dropped, hopefully with a full pre season and last years experience he will reach these giddy heights again.
I agree with iain regarding gary broadbent his best seasons were in the 90s and in the 00s he played centre i seem to remember more plugging gaps in our defensive line

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :Others/NA.JPG |

| Gary B for me, even though he may have had his best years with us in the previous decade.
Actually slightly prefer Hodgy as a FB but I've picked him on the wing.
I'd want Wilshere in any team of the decade for us, but have picked him in the centres instead.
Never a huge fan of Flowers - looked good in a dominant NL1 side, otherwise workmanlike and didn't have Broadbent's longevity.
