Jesus Christ Steve, I didn't realise you were that old. For me it can only be Parry. The best endorsement of his skills came from Bobby Fulton who stated that he was the best Scrum Half he had ever played with.

Jonathan Davies

Interesting to see so few players from the current side mentioned though, despite them being the most successful Warrington team in decades and presumably the majority of people on here's lifetimes.

bob jackson for me , true wire legend

Never saw Jacko have a bad game. Hero.

Lee Briers for me. Great servant, matchwinner, points scorer, Legend.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "Blake oosed class, but couldn't tackle to save his life (mind you, you didn't play Phil Blake for his defence), so no-where near Bateman For those too young, YouTube him, and look out for the try in a mudbath......unbelievable.'" Quote: lefty goldblatt "Those that remember Phil Blake will remember his chip and chase tries, you just couldn`t see it coming, in the blink of an eye whilst in full flight he had chipped the ball over the oppositions defence then regathered and the rest is history. He had that quick burst of speed which all the great backs have that takes them away from defenders, the closest ive seen in terms of quality since Phil Blake is Jonathon Davies, a smaller player but with a very similar bag of tricks.

John Woods

John Bevan for me,for other forms of entertainment mike nicho for aslong as he stayed on the pitch

a great gauge of how good Bob Jackson was when we played the Aussies in 1990 we were well beaten in the end but we gave a decent account of ourselves but Bob Jackson was the best forward on the pitch easily. and they put a strong side out having just lost against GB and not wanting to lose a club game...

Jacko made repeated busts of a brilliant Aussie defence and tackled everything that moved

In the sky commentary a young Eddie Hemmings gave great raps to Mike Gregorys massive work rate and 30 tackles and then a minute later with ten minutes left to go Jacko was substituted and his tackle count was announced as 32....as always his tremendous work often went unnoticed...

A coincidence that in a scoreless second half so far the aussies scored two tries after jacko went off....??????

deserved of his mentions amongst the greats.

andrew johns or big bad graham appo

Surely too many candidates for there to be a definitive winner??

However, if I was truly pressed then I'd probably let childhood nostalgia take over and go for John Bevan.

To most children of junior school age in the 70's and early 80's, Bevan was simply a God. There seemed to be little the man couldn't do. You have to remember that he also came out of probably the most talented Welsh RU side of all time and the fact he stepped from 1 code to another without any problem tells a little more about how good he was.

There is little doubt that he could have played in any era....In fact, he would have been fantastic in today's summer sport, as he was a supreme athlete with a superb physique. He also possessed one of the finest side steps I've ever witnessed and for a man of 6ft 2 , 15-16 stone to have such a side step made him almost unstoppable at times.

As I said, childhood nostalgia has definitely swayed my opinion, and all those mentioned deserve their nomination (well apart from Appo!!), but Bevan was a mighty fine player.

Jonathan Davies without a doubt - whenever he got the ball there was a sense of expectation around the ground because you knew that he could be just about to create something out of nothing and so often he did-legend

From an outsiders pov - I'd have loved Langer and Johns to play for us (even with the latter as a cameo) so I'd say them two. (Langer edging it probably as he was actually your player)

From another Wiganers pov, Phil Blake awesome player. Loved watching him play for Warrington and was made up when he signed for Wigan. Just wish he had stayed longer.

Parry Gordon by far the best Warrington player
that I have ever seen and for loyalty a one
club man the best scrum half never to play for
Great Britain due to very heavy Yorkshire bias
at the time.
PS
As a class player Jonathan Davies has no peers.
