John Wark, Alan Brazil and Dode Burley. Everyone else was shyte.
Seriously though......, I think my favourite, most exciting ITFC player of all time was "score from anywhere" ERIC GATES.

Only being a Town fan through the Championship years, my favourite player was always Danny Haynes.

Frans Thyssen : sheer class. No one could EVER get the ball off him. Warky once said that when the team wanted a "rest" in the game , they'd give it to Frans. I saw this 1st hand at Norwich one season (his last game for us ), they had FIVE players trying to get the ball off him , and he tied them up in knots, before laying the ball off to Arnie..... awesome signings the pair of them.

Kevin Beattie or John Wark, but then of course for class there was also Frans Thijssen and Arnold Muhren who were sheer class. A very hard call to choose.

Agreed with Charnwood, but if i had to split hairs it would be MR John Wark for his goal scoring record FROM MIDFIELD what a genius he was. Nearly guaranteed a goal every game , not many strikers could boast that rate.

Adam Proudlock - LEGEND!
Tough one, can only remember as far as the Dozzell era, would have to go with Holland. Great player, warrior for the club, epitomised everything we'd want.

Blimey tough question, I have so many from different times, but if I have to be pinned down then it has to be Russell Osman.
