bazza Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Most positions you can fill with brilliant players. The one position I cannot think of a truly outstanding player is RB. The first one I saw was Ron Suart. Ok, we have Berg, Emerton, Kenna, Neill. We've never had a Piqué. Quote

Bohinen1983 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I reckon this would be an exciting side to watch... Too many to choose from: Sutton, Santa Cruz, Sherwood, Batty, Dunny, Henchoz, Emerton, Friedel, Flowers, Samba I could easily have slotted in, just gone for the ones I've found most entertaining to watch Raya Le Saux Berg Hendry Emerton Duff Tugay Rothwell Bellamy Shearer Mccarthy Quote

I’d have Eckersley before Le Saux every day of the week Just before my time but to get as many England caps as he did in the era when we weren’t playing Transylvania and Treasure Island twice a year says a lot.

Admittedly I suppose Raya suits the current style more a la the original question, as Friedel's kicking was the only poor element of his game, but still... Quote

Ulrich Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Herby Arthur Fergus Suter, Hugh McIntyre, Jimmy Forest, Joe Beverly. Joe Lofthouse, Jimmy Douglas, Jon Hargreaves, James Brown. Joe Sowerbutts, Jon Inglis. Great team 👍 remember seeing them in my teenage years. 2 Quote

Does that shop still exist? Do you realise Fergie Suter only plated one game for us? Where is Jack Southworth in that team? I think he scored more goals per game than Shearer did.
