Who are your top 4 greatest ever Warrington players?

Select 4, they must have played for the Wire for at least 1 full season, it would also help if you say what time you started to watch Warrington, for example I didn't watch RL when John Bevan played for us so I cant select him.

I started watching in 1981 and my all time best 4 are.

Lee Briers.
Michael Monaghan
Jonathan Davies
Les Boyd.

Quote: Fatbelly "Try not to include a player who was brilliant for other teams but came to us at the end of his career such as Alan Langer.'"


So are you saying Langer wasn't brilliant at Warrington then?

1st Game about 1959
This is not easy. But first three I have no problems with. I have put playing for many years and carrying the side as important.
1.Brian Bevan (I was right in corner with sister when he scored final try v Leigh)
2.Parry Gordon
3.Lee Briers

Fourth I'm struggling with ... Jonathon Davies, Alex Murphy, Alfy Langer and Bobby Fulton (sorry I don't think he played for a full season ... edited later). I'll go for Davies.

You might guess that I was a half-back.

I'm a Wigan fan and based on the premise of who you are frightened of the most usually means being the best I would go for (in no order)
John Bevan
Alex Murphy ( didn't have the privilege to see him in pomp and he was still awesome in his latter playing years)
Parry Gordon - without a doubt the best player ever to not gain full international honours
Mike Gregory - not a Wigan biase but he always always played well against us and I will never forgot his near length of the field try against the Aussies.

Before my time but from comments and anecdotes from my dad I would loved to have seen Brian Bevan, Jackie Edwards and Gerry Helme.
Not a "great" but one Warrington player would played every game as if his life depended on it was Paul Cullen. A fantastic team player and the type of player who unfortunately is very often not given the credit they deserve
