Remember when were all dancing that jig in the Kop?

Agree, plus the natural ability, intelligence to make space, time and execute out of nothing, for me that’s the difference between him and Langstaff.

[Robertomac]

The opposition fans would always give him stick, without realising it motivated him and he'd inevitably score.

He'd have been a nightmare to play against and something of a master of the dark arts. He'd never give his marker any time to settle, roughing them up on corners, backing into them, treading on their toes etc. One of, if not the, best players I've seen at Notts.

Having watched those goals, I don’t think the current team would stand much of a chance.
Davies, Westcarr and Hughes would be too good for our high line.

Agreed, they were a class or 2 above our present team.

Probably the best player I've seen in a Notts shirt, and I started watching them in the early 90s. An absolute legend. I've never seen anyone get the fans going in the same way.

Those highlights also remind me of how good Ben Davies was. Can't think of a better dead-ball specialist at Notts than him. The two were a lethal combination.

Similar timeline for me too slack, and same opinion. Certainly the best striker, easily the best finisher, and probably the best player since starting watching in late 80s.

That combo was indeed lethal, often unstoppable from a dead ball situation.

When you add Rodgers into that mix, along with Ravenhill probably so influential but didn't get the limelight.

Captain's along the back 5, two tough tackling CMs, wingers who could pick a delivery out and two tenacious forwards who could finish. Great team.

PS if it's Mullinspen it's definitely Rodgersoffside.

Having started supporting Notts in the early 90's Hughes was without a doubt the best player I've seen play for the club. His natural goalscoring instinct, positioning, timing, deception, movement, and technique were second to none. He made it look easy.

Agree with others in that he had more to give Notts. Keith Curle taking the number 9 shirt off him was a mistake.

What a team that Munto one was. The Mitchell brothers up front , Westcarr and Davies the creators, Ravenhill and Bishop the spoilers, and the solid defence behind them such as Kasper, Lee, Thompson and Edwards. A team full of leaders and captains.
