THIS is a final chance for fans to vote for their favourite Town players.

Nominations are being taken only until Christmas Day, so it's now or never!

Over the last few months, supporters have been asked to vote for their Town Favourites.

The top 100 will be decided by a panel of judges during January and they will be published in a book to coincide with the club centenary in 2008.

In this final week, one of my own nominations is included.

Striker Dave Mangnall scored a club record 42 goals in the 1931-32 season and he must have been some striker!

No-one has ever bettered that mark in Town colours and, despite there being more competitions and more matches these days, it's highly likely no-one ever will.

Two defenders - Graham Mitchell and Steve Baines - are included in this final feature along with Brian Stanton, the goalscoring midfield ace who helped two Mick Buxton teams to promotion.

To make sure your Town favourite is considered for the book, simply follow the instructions below.

DAVE MANGNALL was one of the game's most prolific strikers with 141 League goals in 218 appearances between the wars, and no-one has ever scored more in one season for Town than him.

He was born in Wigan in 1907 but made his name in local football in Yorkshire.

Rejected by Rotherham County and Town, he played as an amateur for Doncaster Rovers in 1923-24, but the Third Division North newcomers did not retain him and he was working as a miner when Leeds United signed him in November 1927.

Mangnall made his League debut against Burnley in a First Division game at Elland Road in September 1929. After six goals in eight games, he attracted Town, who were looking to replace George Brown.

Town paid £3,000 for him in December 1929 and he repaid them with 73 goals in 90 games, including a club record 42 League and Cup goals in 1931-32.

In February 1934, he moved to struggling Birmingham and managed 14 First Division goals before West Ham bought him for £2,959 in March 1935. Mangnall scored 28 goals from 35 Second Division appearances.

In May 1936 he moved to Millwall and two years later skippered them to the Third Division South title, top-scoring with 18 goals.

He later played for and managed QPR. He died in 1962.

Nominated by: Mel Booth, Holmfirth.

CENTRAL defender Steve Baines signed as a professional for Nottingham Forest in July 1972 and played in two Second Division games the following April.

They were his only League outings in a three-year spell at the City Ground.

Baines joined Town on a free transfer in July 1975 and helped stiffen a defence which had conceded 76 goals in a previous relegation season.

After a string of consistent displays in the Fourth Division, other clubs began to take notice of the powerful six-footer and, two hours before the 1978 transfer deadline, Bradford City snapped him up for £18,000.

He was too late to halt their slide into Division Four, but Baines once again became a favourite and won various Player of the Year awards at Valley Parade.

In 1980 he was named in the PFA's Fourth Division team. He negotiated his own transfer to Walsall in July 1980, when his fee was fixed at £50,000 (City's record incoming fee at the time) by an independent tribunal.

In December 1981, Baines spent a month on loan at Bury and in July 1982 he joined Scunthorpe as player-coach, helping them out of Division Four. Twelve months later he moved to Chesterfield, for £5,000, in a similar capacity and in June 1985 became assistant manager after winning a Fourth Division championship medal.

He joined Matlock Town before switching to refereeing.

He made the League list.

Nominated by: C Jones, Cowlersley

BRIAN STANTON was a big favourite in Mick Buxton's successful sides.

After signing for Town from Bury for £15,000 in September 1979, he ended the season with a Division IV championship medal.

An attacking midfielder, he proved another shrewd signing by Buxton and was sorely missed after being injured in the third match of 1981-82, when he did not return to the side until December.

His goalscoring flair was of great value to the side, particularly in the Division III promotion season of 1982-83.

As the second Town player to score four goals in a match that season, he probably holds the record for the fastest hat trick by a `non-forward', three of his goals against Bradford City on January 1, 1983, coming in the space of six minutes.

Born in Liverpool, Stanton began his career with New Brighton before signing amateur forms for Bury. He became a full-time professional in October 1975.

He played regularly as the Shakers established themselves in Division III.

He dropped down a division with Town but was soon heading back up the League rankings in great style.

Nominated by: John Marston, Dewsbury.

GRAHAM MITCHELL settled straight into first-team football with Town and quickly became an established favourite.

His League debut, in fact, came at Crystal Palace in September 1986 barely 24 hours after he played in a Youth Cup-tie.

Later that season, he won a Fiat Uno Young Player of the Month award.

It was Malcolm Macdonald who gave him a regular chance, however, and from November 1987 to February 1989 in played in every League and Cup game.

He played at Wembley in the 1994 Autoglass Trophy final but joined Bradford City on a free the following December.

He played for Raith, Cowdenbeath, Cardiff and Halifax and is now back at the Galpharm coaching the Academy.

Nominated by: B Chambers, Huddersfield
