"World Class", no less.

Don't know what you mean. Not really my type though, more of a Thackray/Yeaman fan in that respect, so my opinion of him is earnt solely through his on-field performances.

Agree completely. He's easily the best British winger around IMO.

Not got a lot to compete with though............and as being the best British player we have had....good god......Horne and Cooke are a damn site better and you could sling a couple more in there as well...........

agreed on both counts, it's a bit like a place we went to for a meal a few months ago, it's the "best restaurant in Mansfield", the fact that there are only 3 and they are all crap meant it was still fairly rubbish!

8 years?......how you work that out?

Swear blind he buggerd off to rugby union at 1 point and chased the money........the only time he moved sideways then was moving up a place on the Subs bench........some loyalty to the team eh.

ooh, she wont like that!

Doesnt like FACTS then....

And now we see where your dislike of him comes from.

He first joined us in 2001 and played only 4 games for Leicester before realising his mistake and buying out his own contract to "come home". You are happy to overlook Paul Cooke's "loyal" behaviour when citing him as a better player over the last 8 years than Raynor, then.

Realistically Raynor and Horne are the only genuine, consistent international standard British players we've had over the last 8 years or so, and more fans of other clubs would dispute putting Horne in this bracket than Raynor.

only the one's as silly as you!

Although this is largely due to the way Horne's international career has been messed about and the relative strength of other contenders.

Lee Briers and Paul Cooke?
