O/T Star Strikers

We have had lots of strikers and good ones at that, but the following are the ones that stand out as being the sort of talisman star strikers of their time.

Hayles
Elding
Alford
Morison
Godden

They'd win the Best Actor role as opposed to Supporting Actor (like Crawshaw, Maamria, Pearson and many others like Leadbeater, Grazioli, Zoko)

Before my time I assume Gittings was A List.

In our 2nd conference winning season and league two promotion seasons we shared the strikers job and to very good effect with lots of "supporting actors" - the likes of Griffin, Yemi, Boylan, Sills and Beardsley, C. Reid etc and then Rose, Norris and J.Reid.

I don't know what my point was. Just remembering the last time we had a star striker. Reid I suppose is the closest we have come to it recent times, but doesn't make it onto my list. Newton had promised but didn't make it.
