My Dad and Grandad both agreed he was the best full back they ever saw.
I didn't see him play but I did have the misfortune to see him as manager!

My dad said Don Howe was absolute class.

Still for me the best keeper in England even though I lost respect for him after he went on strike after saying he was going nowhere. That’s my opinion anyway.

Hoult was immense. Foster is more fondly remembered as it was more recent. 

The clean sheets kept in the promotion season and Hoults form, along with the 3 CB’s, was extraordinary.

Sven not taking Hoult to Japan/Korea in 02 was a shocker.

Him and Statham the best full backs I've seen at the Albion.
I suppose we have to have a gk if it's a squad. Foster for me.
Otherwise I wouldn't have any gk in my top 50 best Albion players.

Hoult in the 01/02 season was simply outstanding.
