According to wikipedia, this is our hall of fame:

* pre-1920: Flag of Wales Billy Meredith (1894), Flag of England Tommy Johnson (1919).

* 1920s: Flag of England Sam Cowan (1924), Flag of England Eric Brook (1928), Flag of England Fred Tilson (1928).

* 1930s: Flag of England Frank Swift (1933), Flag of Ireland Peter Doherty (1936).

* 1940s: Flag of Wales Roy Clarke (1946), Flag of Germany Bert Trautmann (1949).

* 1950s: Flag of England Ken Barnes (1950), Flag of Wales Roy Paul (1950), Flag of England Alan Oakes (1958).

* 1960s: Flag of England Neil Young (1961), Flag of England Mike Summerbee (1965), Flag of England Colin Bell (1966), Flag of England Tony Book (1966), Flag of England Francis Lee (1967), Flag of England Joe Corrigan (1967).

* 1980s: Flag of England Paul Lake (1987).

* 1990s: Flag of Ireland Niall Quinn (1990).

2000's nearly over, plus I think the club need to add more players to the 80's and 90's, say 5 per decade,

Who would you put in?

What is that all about? Corrigan 1967? 'Flag of England Tony Book'.

I should just forget about it mate.

But as for the 70s if you're still plugging away - Corrigan, Tueart, Hartford, Watson, Donachie, Barnes to name a few

I'd have Paul Power and Alex Williams in from the 1980's (both for their on-field impact and also their subsequent work for the club and in the community)

Not much I'd include from the 1990...although Shaun Goater arrived then and I'd 100% add him

Richard Dunne from this latest decade, SWP also.

I've never understood the WIKI hall of fame. Would be good if someone could explain how it works.

Flag of....players nationality and I'm guessing the year is when they signed for the club? Corrigan never played 'til 69 I think? does anyone concur?
