Colin Cramb

The Scottish striker played for the Saddlers during a short loan spell from Bristol City in 1999, making four appearances and scoring four goals.

Stephen Baines

Baines signed for Walsall in 1980 and stayed at Bescot for two seasons, becoming a big hit with the fans and chipping in with some important goals, scoring five times.

Peter Sweeney

The Glaswegian was only at Walsall for a short spell in 2007 on loan from Stoke City, playing seven league games.

He joined Bury in June 2010, signing a two-year deal, and helped the club earn promotion from League Two in his first season.
