Immediately, off the top of my head,

Keelan

Haylock

Forbes

Bruce

Bowen

Crook

Peters

O''Neill

Huckerby

Holt

Fash

Don''t ask me what formation they would play in, and I could come up with another eleven, in about 2 minutes (although Keelan and Peters would ALWAYS make my team)

Keelan

Culverhouse Watson Polston Bowen

Eadie Crook Huckerby

Wes

Drinkell Sutton

Unashamedly attacking and all performed superbly at the very top level. Talented.

Chris Woods, Butterworth, Bruce, Phelan, Francis, Fox, Bruce, Reeves, Redmond all very unlucky not to make the cut. Probably kick myself for even more I cant immediately recall

Good thread Kingo.

It''s too hard when youre older. I have 6 decades to think about and so change my mind constantly. We''ve done this twice at Still On The Ball and come up with different players. We hav3 the 50s in there though so it''s 7 decades. First attempt today is : -

Keelan, Stringer, Forbes, Bruce, Bowen

Foggo, Bryceland, Hockey, Peters

Roberts, Holt

But it will change a lot during the day!

Going for a slightly less obvious XI – players who were either underrated, or whose attitude or demeanour I really liked, or whom I desperately wanted to succeed, but aren''t generally considered legends or hall-of-famers.ForsterEdworthyKentonPolstonTierneyOdjidja-OfoeFoxMilliganPhillipsNielsenWard

I''m going for...

Green

Kenton

Malky

Shackell

Drury

Howson

Hoolahan

Mulryne

McVeigh

Holt

Hucks.

Honourable mentions: Francis, Etuhu, Crouch, McKenzie, Ryan Jarvis, Doherty, Helveg, Dublin, Lappin, Korey Smith, McNamee, Russell, Oli Johnson, Bradley Johnson, Pacheco, Elliot Bennett, David Fox, Iwan!

Started watching around the turn of the century, hence a fairly modern list!

Ohhh and Nedergaard and Clint Easton.

Feel guilty for not including Lapps in my team :( This is difficult. Too emotionally stressful. Glad I''m only 24 and not 74! Would rather be 14 for a choice like this. Help.

Actually I really liked Erik Fuglestad! Incidentally he returned to Viking after leaving us where he was (successfully) moved into midfield, both central and left wing.

I''ll switch him for Clint Easton.

Very difficult. I''ve picked players I''ve seen over my 45 years of watching the team, who I remember with affection...

Keelan

Culverhouse Bruce Forbes Drury

Fox Crook Paddon Huckerby

Ashton Holt

Very hard not to include Peters, Gary Holt, Crook, Iwan, Bowen & Eadie. So disappointed Ashton didn''t play for us longer.

Not necessarily best but favourites (sometimes quite irrationally so). Players who had something different about them/brought a higher level of skill than normal to their position etc, but could also being simply infuriating...I  have bodged in Terry Allcock in central defence (he played there a bit late on) and Paddon on the left of midfield:KeelanMachin, Allcock, Bruce, BowenNeighbour, Burton, Bryceland, PaddonBoyer, Fashanu

Culverhouse, Watson, Newsome, Van Wijk,

Phillips, Williams, Crook, Huckerby,

Not sure how balanced my midfield is! Those favourites very unlucky to miss out are Chris Woods, Robert Green, Gary Holt, Adam Drury, David Fox, Dion Dublin, Robert Rosario and Jonny Howson.

Funny to see so many different names here, some great answers though.

Someone I missed off my original post was Matias Jonsen. He was a bit crap for us but I really liked him for some reason. Same with Jens Berthel Askou.
