My Black and White Heroes: Stuart Brace et. al.

AS I have supported Town for many years, I would have to pick one from different eras. The earliest one, many may not have heard of, but Stuart Brace set a goal scoring record for a winger by scoring 25 goals in a season.

He was one of the first players I saw, and today would be worth a fortune. Donovan reminded me of him slightly in the promotion season, but Brace was a great winger.

Secondly was Joe Waters, one of the best midfielders to play for Town during the seventies. An excellent midfielder and one that many 'less younger' supporters will remember. He came to this club after supporters did their bit to sign him from Leicester City.

Lastly, the great Clive Mendonca. It is a real shame that he missed so many games through injury. A class player, and many fans would still like to see him return to Blundell Park, unlikely though that is.
