In terms of how good they are now then Dinos certainly. But in terms of how good they were at the time, I'd say Frank Mulvey, James Robinson, Eric Wright (not the one with AIDS) and Jerry Humphreys off the top of my head.

Thanks for that, Charlie, I really appreciate that, coming from a twice runner-up of the show! :D

The spoof versions of the previously hidden "Best player NOT to reach a series final?" thread are now beating it 2 to 1.

Thanks, Ian, my original 2 shows that I was on when I was a bit younger are being uploaded onto Countdowngoofs shortly, so, watch this space! :D

EDIT: Or were you taking the p**s, by saying "Especially the last one".
