Darlo were soundly thrashed 7-0, yet the seven-year-old Paul was hooked. It was at this game that he came into contact with his first-ever Quakers hero, goalkeeper Phil Owers, who was followed by many more, the latest two being Jarrett Rivers and Tommy Taylor from the current team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul hasn’t just chosen the 100 best players – some only played a few games for the club – but each individual made an indelible impression on him.
