Freddy Eastwood voting is now open.

Mark Gower has reached enough nominations and will be put up for election some time soon(ish).
 
how many more places up for grabs?

It's not a fixed amount, not least because I hope the club's history keeps evolving for years to come.

The question is do they deserve to be there in the elite group alongside Billy Best, Chris Powell, Sid Broomfield etc, or are they the rung below - like David Crown, Ricky Otto, Sammy etc (and oh for a David Crown, Ricky Otto and a Paul Sansome now).

Yeah fair do's.

Its 90% of the vote to get in isn't it? Paul Clark and Dave Smith were very unlucky not to get in!
 
What about Sam McCrory? He was The Blues (never shrimpers as that's a name given by the media - not the supporters) quickest scorer before Freddy Eastwood. He went on to be capped by Nortehrn Ireland, and was part of their national team at Wembley against England
 
Can't believe that Ricky Otto and David Crown are not on the list. Can we have another vote???
 
Unbelievable that Paul Clark's not in.

Surely the player Steve Tilson left the club more than 2 years ago, even though the manager Steve Tilson left more recently.

You couldn't separate the two in a discussion on Tilson which is why he'll have to wait a little while yet until he's eligible.
 
You're not wrong there either. Trouble is, as we saw in some of the other rounds, some people dig their heels in and vote against purely because they've not seen them play.

That's a rather absurd point of view. Frank Gill's in but no-one saw him play, unless they were lucky to see him play in the war period as a guest player.

I and a few others had to argue quite hard for Frank, it was one of the reasons people gave for not voting Paul Clark in though and it really rankled.
