Jack Lester1994/95-1999/00100 (42)19 goals

Jack Lester Given his full debut by Laws in 1994, 'Super Jack' did not show his true potential until given his bow under Kenny Swain in the relegation season of 1997-98. Lester was instrumental in Town's Wembley success and maintaining our 1st division status.

He was then sold on the cheap to Forest for a measly £300,000 at a time when the board forced Buckley to sell his top players. Renowned for his shirt pulling abilities, diving and fooling every ref in the land, Jack the lad was a firm Town favourite and in the eyes of many, has never been replaced.

Next Player: Jamie Forrester
