FOUR favourites from different Town eras are featured this week as voting for the club's top 100 favourites enters the final stages.

Nominations are being taken only until Christmas, when a panel of judges will make the final decision on those to be included in a book to mark Town's centenary in 2008.

Joining the list now are Peter Hart, Chris Balderstone, Laurie Kelly and pre-war favourite Pat Beasley.

Hart has made headlines since finishing his football career by becoming a member of the clergy in the midlands, but he is still fondly remembered here as the captain of Mick Buxton's free-scoring Fourth Division championship side.

Balderstone was one of this town's most talented sporting sons, playing county cricket for Leicestershire and League football with Town and, most notably, Carlisle United.

Kelly often has his name recalled as a member of the unchanged defence in 1952-53 while Beasley was one of Town's last FA Cup final team in 1938.

PERHAPS the most successful of Billy Smith's successors at outside-left, Pat Beasley's time at Leeds Road was cut short by the outbreak of war but that didn't prevent him becoming a firm favourite.

His old-fashioned style of wing play, which often involved cutting inside with devastating effect, endeared him to the Leeds Road crowd.

He made up for missing two FA Cup finals with Arsenal by playing in Town's 1938 Wembley final against Preston.

Beasley scored some vital goals for Town and made a goalscoring debut for England against Scotland in 1939, his only full international cap. That summer, he went on the FA tour to South Africa.

Beasley joined Arsenal in May 1931 but made only 89 senior appearances in five and a half years at Highbury, although he twice qualified for League Championship medals.

He joined Town for £750 in October 1936 and during the war guested for Arsenal before signing for Fulham in December 1945.

He skippered the Cottagers to the Second Division title in 1949.

In July 1950 he became player-manager of Bristol City, winning promotion from Division III South five years later. He retired as a player in 1952.

He later managed Birmingham City, taking them to a Fairs Cup Final in 1960.

He died in 1986.

CHRIS BALDERSTONE was one of an increasingly rare breed who successfully combined county cricket with League soccer.

He is one of only four Town players to have played first-class cricket for Yorkshire and on September 15, 1975, in the middle of an innings for his county Leicestershire against Derbyshire at Chesterfield, he appeared for Doncaster Rovers against Brentford that evening.

Born in Paddock on November 16, 1940, he first joined Town in 1956.

He made his League debut towards the end of 1959-60 but, despite blossoming under the managership of Eddie Boot, his wholehearted displays were never enough to guarantee him a regular place.

In June 1965 he went to Carlisle for £6,000 and made his debut for them in their first-ever Second Division fixture in August that year. Nine years later he played in Carlisle's first ever game in Division One. An industrious midfield player, Balderstone skippered Carlisle to a League Cup semi-final and scored 68 goals in 376 League games for them before joining Doncaster in July 1975.

At Belle Vue he took his overall tally to 532 League games (92 goals) and ended his career with Queen of the South and Enderby Town.

His cricket career as a right-hand batsman and slow left-arm bowler brought him over 10,000 runs and 250 wickets for Leicestershire.

PETER HART graduated from Town's youth scheme - a legacy from the reign of Ian Greaves' spell as Leeds Road manager.

He joined Town as an apprentice in August 1972 and was the Terriers' second-youngest debutant when making his Football League bow as a 16-year-old.

In August 1974 he signed full professional forms, three months after captaining the club in the FA Youth Cup Final.

Hart's defensive qualities became his hallmark before a fruitful switch into the Town midfield.

He became a key figure, skippering Town's Division IV championship team of 1980 as one of three ever-presents.

He left Leeds Road for Walsall in a £70,000 deal in August 1980 and is now a vicar in that area.

LEFT-BACK Laurie Kelly was bought from Wolves for £10,000 in October 1950.

Town wanted his experience at a time when they were in the middle of a re-building programme.

A cool, confident full-back, Kelly brought much-needed stability to Town's rearguard and featured in the famous unchanged defence of 1952-53.

Born in Wolverhampton on April 28, 1925, he was a wartime signing for his home-town club in 1940, making his debut as a teenager in 1942-43.

Kelly spent 10 years at Molineux, during which time he received the maximum benefit sum of £750.

Some 18 months after Wolves won the 1949 FA Cup final, he moved to Leeds Road and, as Wolves entered a period when they would become a dominant football force under Stan Cullis, Town looked more for rehabilitation than glory.

Unlike his time at Molineux, when sheer class of competition meant only the occasional first-team outing since making his League debut during the 1947-48 season, Kelly was an automatic choice as Town's left-back.

Never were his qualities better illustrated than in that 1952-53 season, when he was a key figure in Town's Second Division promotion side.

He was one of seven ever- presents as Town recovered from the previous season's relegation.

At the end of 1955-56, the club were back in the Second Division, but by this time Kelly was thinking to the future and he accepted the position of player-manager at Nuneaton Town in May 1957, although the following December he vacated the post.
