Saddlers fan Rob Jones recalls the most underrated goal in football and Paul Merson's ill-fated spell as gaffer

- Rob Jones

XI

BEST: Jimmy Walker, Jason McCarthy, Scott Dann, Paul Ritchie, Gino Padula, Jeff Peron, Martin O'Connor, Vinny Samways, Gary O'Neil, Jorge Leitao, Tom Bradshaw.

WORST: Richard McKinney, Russell Martin, Kofi Dakinah, Ash Taylor, Chris Palmer, Paul Smith, Joe Broad, Anton Peterlin, Derick Osei Yaw, Rory Gaffney, Carlos Carneiro.

PLAYER

B: Vinny Samways played for us in the second tier at the tail-end of his career and seemed to have so much time on the ball. He just oozed class.

W: Kofi Dakinah was one of many spurious signings during Paul Merson’s brief flirtation with management. I remember seeing our new Danish centre-back before a friendly away at Chester being told how to kick the ball by his teammates.

MOMENT

B: Dean Keates' last-gasp equaliser away at Swindon in 2007. Winning the league with an injury-time screamer from your own homegrown midfield talisman in front of a packed away end? It doesn't get much better than that.
