Opponents we feared the most

Looking at the Paul Mariner thread and how people remember him pulling us to bits got my grey cells ticking over.
Who else did we fear, dread seeing their name on the team sheet?
My first memory of somebody who always seemed to put in a good show against us was the Seaweed Kit Napier. Whenever I saw his name, 'it was oh no not bloody him!' :grinning:
 
Darren Caskey, Dave Kitson, Lee Hughes, Dusan Tadic, A Young Albert Adomah, Akinfenwa, Lee Trundle, Neil Roberts, Jamie McCombe, Craig Dawson, Zaha. Normally we struggled with big power units or tricky players more than pacey players before the PL era
 
In recent memory it has to be Raheem Sterling, averaged a goal a game against us.

Harry Kane 7 goals in 8 games.

Warren bloody Feeny. We’d give him pelters and then he’d score. Might only have actually happened twice but I was never comfortable.
