“We are giving all our readers the chance to vote in our Readers’ Poll this week on these five players, and if you believe there is any player we have failed to nominate who deserves to be considered, it isn’t too late to make your own nominations.

“Cast your vote, and if you would like to nominate a player who isn’t already there, drop us a line and we’ll consider whether we can add his name to the list.”

Finally, Sadler added: “The Albert Goldthorpe Rookie of the Year will be revealed at a special function on 11 November.”
