Tommy Harris the man who changed the roll from just a ball winner to what we see now .
Other should be Tonny Dukes a C C Cup winner at 37 back in the OLD mans replay of 82.

Having watched FC since the late 40's I would definitely go for Bomber Harris. Whilst Swain and Jackson were excellent, they didn't do it over the same period of time as Tommy.

Agree about Swain and Jacko. What about Treister - he was fantastic when he came over?

Jacko for me, one of the original modern hookers. One of his scoots could take you from your own 20 to the opposition 20 in an instant. His workrate was right up there with the very best also, quite often he'd make 3/4/5 tackles on the bounce.
Other notables for me include Swain, Wileman, Patrick and even though I never saw him my Grandad told me all about Tommy Harris.
