They're the five I picked:thumbsup:

Can't really argue with who they have picked but it does rather ignore 70 odd years of history before.

Completely agree. :thumbdown:

I can't help feel they should have had selections from eras rather than just the top 5, younger people are obviously going to go for the most recent ones - as said, missing out the earlier part of our history.

This has turned out a bit like the Blues 'Legends' Lounge where half the photo's on the wall are players who I'm not sure can really be classed as Legends... Good players and popular players but not Legends.
Or put another way, there are real Legends who are not included.... at least from my memory (which isn't great).

I agree with the 5 chosen as I'm old enough and luck enough to have seen them all play.
I can't see why we can't put those 5 on one wall and more names up to fill the spaces around the other walls. Nothing wrong with a picture and some info on someone who died before we were born because its good to remind both players and supporters how important Football clubs really are and what they mean to a town over the decades. Plus we all have our own favourites from our youth (Moody and Cusack) in my case.
I often go in lounges on away days and even for away fans its good to be reminded of who played for that club.....Even if you hated them back in the late 70's.

Agreed - I was at a 40th birthday party last year held at a lounge at Swindon's County Ground. Great fun looking at all the old pictures on the wall and around the bar. There was a massive photo of Jan Age Fjortoft on the toilet door!
All told, this is a good initiative by the club and I'm sure there will be plenty of scope for it grow. Although of course we'll be out of Roots Hall within a year or two so...

I agree with the poster who suggested it was just called captains lounge and every captain got a look in.
Having said all of this mind, I'm not having a pop at the club as sometimes they can't do good for doing bad.
