| The list of the players I've watched, adored and been privileged to see in the P&B is massive, and you look back and wonder how we didn't win more with them in our ranks.
The players who have squeezed the breath from my lungs in awe though, are those that made it all look so effortless. Some players huff-and-puff and deserve to be acknowledged as warriors, but an exceptional few achieve greatness with a shrug of the shoulders, and these are the [iartists.[/i
Step forward Phil Blake, Allan Langer, Allan Bateman, Jiffy Davies and, of course, Mr John Woods, my personal favourite.
Woods was not only the most laid-back, naturally gifted player I have ever seen in the P&B he was the [icoolest[/i. He was Steve McQueen in a no. 6 shirt. He scored tries of individual brilliance that would have had most players wooping with self-congratulatory joy, and just ambled back into position with laconic, shimmering style. All that high five business is soooooooooo terribly uncool, don't you know.

| For me it was always Paul Bishop, purely for his impudence, and Sir Les..no explanation required.

This isn't about the "best" player it's about favourite player and there is an obvious reason why Andy Greg would not be considered a favourite however good he was.

Hooky, my fave player again has to be John Woods, the bloke had so much Class and seemed to glide over the pitch when running,not just a great player then but my fave player.As for Andy G?I suppose the reason you mention has something to do with the way he left the Club for Wigan?
