So, one for the AVFTT Brigade to muse over .. first our best ever loans and then can we put them in order from the best downwards.
Nominations please ...
 
Pretty sure Vic D wasn't a loan.
You are indeed correct.

Played 25 times for us, scoring 3. 2 of those against Bobby Robson's Ipswich, before being sold the the mighty Glasgow Celtic for £35k.

Ipswich either were or were about to become UEFA Cup winners. Big scalp.
 
Correct he was signed from Motherwell and then went back to play for his boyhood club Celtic. Always remember him from that brilliant performance in the Cup game against Ipswich.
Correct. It was the Motherwell connection that prompted me to mention Willie Pettigrew.
 
Stanley Matthews. We got him on a 14 year loan from Stoke because they thought he was past his best in 1947. Huddersfield should take note and follow suit.
