Thought I'd get the wheels in motion on this forum with my favourite 1 to 7. I covered the Stars (and Knights) for a few years so some might be based on bias towards those who gave me the best quotes! But here goes anyway...and please post your all-star line-up as well.
1) Jason Crump - you knew you were always in with a good shout in a race...something that could not always be said when watching King's Lynn.
2) Tom Topinka - Someone I would class as a friend. Great bloke, loves King's Lynn and has a good sense of humour. Top Gun, top guy.
3) Mark Loram - truly awesome on his day. Arguably the best racer I have seen in my time watching the sport.
4) Shane Parker - who can forget that play-off race against Ipswich when he split Rickardsson and Louis? Another out-and-out racer and, again, a thoroughly good bloke... if a little mad.
5) Henka Gustafsson - another born racer. You were willing him not to make the start so he could use every inch of Saddlebow Road to win from the back.
6) Emerson Fairweather - tried his hardest in every race and, again, a really nice lad to boot.
7) Tom P Madsen - maybe in my line-up for one race...when he passed Tomasz Gollob on his home track at Ipswich. I was standing on the third bend so had the perfect view of it. Sent Lynn fans into raptures.
