This group is the premier league to group three's La Liga. A very competitive group but the overall winner most probably won't be coming from it.

It's going to be tough to pick just one from this group, all the competitors have plenty going for them.

Tanno. South American FLAIR is the trump card in this.

For me it's between Kemy or Paddy.

Minton was the default flair player when we had literally no flair. Tanno outflairs him in terms of not just ill discipline, but ridiculous discipline. Sandaza was too good.

Kemy outflairs Tanno through his ridiculous attitude and incredible social media presence.

But McCourt. Oh McCourt. Mazy, ridiculous runs into dangerous positions followed by powderpuff shots into the keepers chest? Lose three defenders with one deft sashay of the hips then loft the ball gently over the bar into row C?

Plus the appearance, the scruffiness, the fact he's idolised back home; he's my flair icon of this group without a doubt.

Tanno must have one of the worst discipline records in Albion history, with pretty much all of it being for DISSENT

But still it's paddy for me. He played and looked like a Sunday league player with a hangover. That guy who never turns up for training and no one really knows

Has to be Gotsmanov. This is one of my favourite goals, rounding the keeper, then celebrating before putting the ball in the goal is FLAIR

24 seconds in.

Gotsmanov by a street for me. The only one who comes close to Vicente and Worthington for me. That 'salute' goal will always stand out

I've gone Sergei too: USSR and Belarus, world class player playing for us for free(thanks to perestroika), drove a sponsored Lada, that 'salute' goal, shit haircut, middle name of Anatolayevich.

Gotsmonov for me. IIRC he was flair personified; one incident sticks in my mind - he pushed others out of the way in 1st game to take cheeky free kick...
