Lennon, Hudd, Daws, Palacios, Stalteri, Lamela, Sandro.

I'm probably forgetting a bunch.

Definitely Dawson. His older brother, Andy, was in the year below me at our school and I was on the school team with him. Mike was 2 or 3 years below him. I didn't meet him, but saw him at training for Northallerton Town Juniors.

A lot of my shouts are already taken, Anderton, Nielsen, Iverson would all register for me.

A personal one that I’d add despite perhaps not truly fitting is Helder Postiga… honestly, never have I wanted someone to succeed and get the goal that set him off on to wonderkid status more, I was so sure it was coming, to the point I reckon you could put him in the team on Saturday and I’d still sit here saying “he just needs one to go in off his arse and he’ll be unstoppable from that point”.

Nico Claesen is one I recall. Absolute flyer down the right flank. Exciting player to watch imo.

Lee young-pyo for me.

Will always remember before we played man u sky sports did a big section on how Ronaldo would have him on toast, how he's too big and strong for him etc and Lee had him in his pocket for the match. Hugely underappreciated player and those are usually the cult ones for own fans

Seem to remember Steffen Freund being one, not based on his ability but because he shouted a lot and seemed very passionate!

Taking it back a few decades… Stevie Archibald. Berba with attitude.

Had some greats in that team, but he was a cult hero.
