My Grandad used to tell me he was the most underrated player (mainly due to the quality in the team during that period) of his time, and he should have played Internationally.

to be fair i put it out about tommy finn's inclusion in the nominees thread, but nobody got back to me so i went with the original 5 - if nobody comments at the time then i can't include them
so far it doesn't look like affecting the result though

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, yes I agree with this move.
Having voted and seen the result, I'm sure it won't make a difference!
Shame these older guys are getting over looked for someone who played for the club for a fraction of the time and didn't achieve half as much. I think there's a subtle difference between the greatest players for the club and best players to play for the club.
