Emerton        Berg      Henchoz          Le Saux

                       Sherwood   Tugay

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.

You never saw Keith Newton then. A Rolls-Royce of a player, todays football would be right up his street.

chris price was very under rated as a r/b he was always up and down the wing like a greyhound,always willing to forwards

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

Henchoz was absolutely class.   Was gutted when he left for Liverpool.

True! 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.

Did you honestly just put Raya in ahead of Friedel even though you've seen Friedel? 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...

I like Rothwell, but seeing him in one of the above teams made me chuckle.

[Ulrich]

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.

Where did you buy the elixir from? 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.
