40 from 40 Years
Help select 40 players from the 40 years of the Sheffield Eagles as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations.
As part of the plans to mark the 40th anniversary of the Sheffield Eagles in 2024 we’re trying to build up a list of 40 players from across the 40 years of the Club.
Making the Selection
There are various ways we could have approached this and everyone will have different opinions. We could have focused on the top 40 points scorers over the 40 years, the top 40 numbers of appearances, the top three players in every position or researched the players of the year from each season. Instead we’re looking at a combination of those approaches and getting you the fans involved. We're going to try and select one player from each of the 40 years – they may not necessarily be the top points scorer, or made the most appearance that season but they contributed to the success of the Club, made their mark in history or became fan favourites. For each season we'll be listing the top 5 points scorers and top 5 number of appearances, along with the full list of players from that season. You can then share your thoughts by contacting us HERE. We’ll pull together a list of suggestions and as the years build up we’ll try and draw a list together. Early in the New Year we’ll then look to arrange a meeting where a fans can come together to discuss the possible choices to help make the final decision.
