These would be my choices

my all time fav Steve Gibson. I cried when he left and I was a grown woman!

ave its mum

In no particular order:

Steve Blakely - My favourite Salford player of all time. His stats say it all.
Peter Williams - My favourite player as a kid. Just 100% pure quality
Steve Kerry - Could cut defences to ribbons with a blistering turn of pace.
Darren Brown - For about 2 years he was the best import in Super League imho.
Fata Sini - His performance against Saimts at home in 1997 will live long in the memory.

I could go on forever naming my favourite players through the years.

David Watkins
Paul Charlton
Peter Williams
Fata Sini
Paul Forber
Darren Bloor
Ian Blease......
and finally the one and only.....
Neil Baker

The god that is Chris Charles
Steve Blackley
Scott Martin
Mark Lee
Aidrian Hadley
Malc

The players I've listed are not chosen just on talent (before you lot start). But for some other memorable traits too.

Steve Gibson (legend) not only for his playing, but he was one helluva character.

Paul Shaw - raw talent.

Fata Sini - one of the strongest players ever.

Gary Jack - pace and skill.

Darren Brown - great ball handling and mobility for a big guy.

Mick McTigue - would tackle his own Granny if she tried to get past.

Ian Gormley - great for breaking up crowds in Halifax., and could tackle a bit!

John Gilfillan - daft as a brush.

Shakers Hansen - terrifying all taped/tatooed up and scary for the opposition.

David young - when you hear Aussies say that he "steps up for the drive that nobody else wants": you know he's tough. a true gentleman too.

Adie Hadley - One of the very first of the new breed of 15-16 stone speedster wingers that is now the norm.

Tex Evans - what can I say? what a showman, who scored a few too.

Mark Lee - probably the best hooker never to play for GB (bad old days selection stitch ups).

Keith Fielding - very very fast. And don't let us forget that he won "superstars". A really nice guy too.

Peter Brown - a really nice guy who did some great work with youngsters for me. But I suppose he'll always be remembered for trying to knock his ex Salford team mates out and his subsequent five year ban.

Ian Blease - hard working and very tough - a good captain.

MY TOP 10.
