Moving on to halfbacks, and to save time, doing both halfback positions at the same time. I thik the list below is pretty exhaustive of everyone who's done a few games at half back (and in some cases few really does mean that). Initial thoughts from the list suggest some real class acts and a hell of a lot of filler.

Andrew Dunemann
Bobbie Goulding
Cliff Beverley
Craig Murdock
Darren Brown
Francis Maloney
Gavin Clinch
Graham Holroyd
Jeremy Smith
John Duffy
John Wilshere
Karl Fitzpatrick
Karle Hammond
Kevin McGuinness
Lee Marsh
Luke Dorn
Luke Robinson
Martin Crompton
Radney Bowker
Richard Myler
Robbie Paul
Simon Svabic
Stefan Ratchford
Stephen Myler
Tim Hartley

I'd find it hard to disagree with that.

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

I think what's most disappointing is how much Robinson and Myler promised, and how easily they chcuked in the towel. I'd say even more so Myler

Has Steve Blakeley played for us in the decade?. Has to be Dunnamen and Clinch with Beverley a honourable reserve.

A Myler/Dunnemann hybrid would be perfect for number 7. Not possible so I guess I'll jump off the fence and go, erm, Dunners for number 7 on the basis he did a grand job in winding Dave Solomona up in the year we beat Bradford at home. ('07?) It all kicked off and Dunners taunted Solomona with a hilarious comedy fighting style.

For number 6 it's gotta be Sir Clifford!

Jeremy Smith and Luke Dorn - if only we'd have seen these two play together, I think some fans' heads may have exploded at the prospect of having to decide which one to hurl abuse at... :wink:

Bloody hell, of course he has - he set a club goals in a game record (14) v Gateshead in 2003! Apologies, I've been given duff information (you know who you are - hang your head in shame). Played far more than most of the above from 2000-2003, making 63 starts and 23 sub appearances (mainly in 2003). His best years with us were the 8 seasons before his brief move to Warington, but he still contributed more to the decade than most above.

Cheers Iain,i thought he did but was unable to trust my fading memory. Steve Blakeley is one of my all time favourite Salford players and in 35 years or so of watching us thats a lot.
