Also, we will be having a Willow's Red's legend/favourite player attending the game aswell as a favourite/legend from the opposing team on the day.
With "13" games to go, we are having past"13"s in Eric Prescott, who was a Salford great & Paul Sculthorpe ,the Saints legend amongst former players. They will be presented to the crowd so get ready for your photo opportunity's.

The club will have many other past players attending over the season, so watch out for announcements.

after reading this part of bbm's thread i was wondering who else we might see before we leave for the new ground

im hoping for the 11 games to go we will again see "BUFFER" Paul Forber.

and Steve Blakeley with 6 games to go, so who would you like too see ??

heres some of mine

IAN BLEASE, TERRY OSHEA, RICARD WEBSTER, "BUFFER" MARK LEE, STEVE BLAKELEY, NATHAN MCAVOY, FATA SINI, TEX EVANS, GIBBO

From my years watching Salford:

David Hulme (Grafter)
Joe and Esene Flymo (For the song)
Darren Brown (For chasing back for that tackle against Bradford I think?)
Neil Baynes (Cult fave)
Martin Crompton (He's the Original Wizard)
Jim Smith (Massively underrated when here IMO)
Nick Pinkney (His performance vs Wigan in the 31-30)

...and
Paul Carige (For comedy value)

Nah, average at best. Props for pointing out Crompton was the original wizard though. It falls on deaf ears these days!

Purely based on my 20 years of watching Salford...................

13. Hulme
12. Buffer
11. Hansen
10. Youngy
9. Malc
8. Rutgerson
7. Mike O'Neill
6. Blakeley
5. Ford
4. Naylor
3. Critchleu
2. Sini/Hodgy
1. Gary Jack

There are undoubtedly some far better players to have pulled on a Salford shirt than these but for some reason s.ome of these stick out in my mind

Well, anyone who doubts Crompton's status as the original Wizard should look back to our CC tie against Warrington, where he pinged a sublime delayed pass to Martin Offiah (In poss his first competitive game for us). Thats what I call Wizardly.

Some of those named will be attending the games, maybe have a reunion of the 70's winning team???????
Will contact some of the most popular choices posted on here, along with the choices the panel have already put forward. Tried to look at not just the best, but the most popular ie, Tex Evans, not the best winger we have ever had, BUT, one of the most entertaining
So please carry on with your idea's cheers
