Lets try and brighten the mood up a bit round here...

So we have enjoyed a decade of ups and downs following York City Knights now, and we have seen some quality players grace the blue & white jersey, either as a Knights star signing after a glittering career, or as a young star about to hit the big time.

Who would be in your 'most decorated' Knights team in terms of overall career achievements?*

1. Matt Blaymire - (Went on to make 106 SuperLeague appearances after leaving the Knights)
2. Peter Fox - (6 England caps, 130 SuperLeague apps after leaving)
3. Dan Potter - (20 SL apps before joining)
4. Jordan Tansey - (7 NRL, 101 SL apps before joining)
5. Chris Smith - (SL winner at St Helens before joining)
6. Chris Thorman - (163 SL, 11 NRL, 2 England, 1 Yorkshire Apps before joining)
7. Danny Brough - (156 SL, 7 Scotland, England squad 2012, Challenge Cup Winner after leaving)
8. Paul Broadbent - (8 GB, 5 England caps, Challenge Cup Winner before joining)
9. Lee Jackson - (17 GB, 6 England caps, NRL Winner, Challenge Cup winner before joining)
10. Paul King - (1 GB cap, 257 SL apps, Challenge Cup winner before joining)
11. Ian Kirke - (105 SL apps, 4 time SL Winner after leaving)
12. Jason Golden - (73 SL apps after leaving)
13. David March - (187 SL apps before joining)

*Figures off Wiki, so loosely accurate.

It just goes to show that the Knights can both attract AND produce big names, doesn't it?

Some great names there, imagine that team all in their pomp? I'm sure I've missed some too.
Who would be in your 'most decorated 13?
