Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, it’s difficult. It would be something like this, but could easily be changed as I recall players I’ve loved to watch Woods, Culverhouse, Bowen, Bruce, Watson, Crook, Townsend, Maddison, Drinkell, Holt, Huckerby Subs: Linighan, Hoolahan, Gordon, Sutton, Ruddy (kind of think you need a keeper and defender) It’s astonishing I know, but there’s no place for Raymond de Waard Edited October 23, 2020 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,190 Posted October 23, 2020 Harry Kane and Patrick Bamford ? On a serious note no Martin Peters, Duncan Forbes, Trevor Hockey or Justin Fashanau. Not certain but after leaving us who would have been our most successful player elsewhere, obviously Bruce and Sutton spring to mind, but didn’t Dave Watson get loads of England caps ?

Jersey Canary 143 Posted October 23, 2020 Gunn, Culverhouse, Bowen, Butterworth, Linighan, Townsend, Crook, Huckerby, Fox, Sutton, Deehan Subs/Squad Bruce, Watson, Woods, Fox, Eadie, Holt, Ashton, Pukki, Buendia, Phelan This is based on players who actually made it at the highest level IMO.

Newtopia 517 Posted October 24, 2020 Gunn, Aarons, Bruce, Bassong, Bowen, Fox, Crook, Maddison, Eadie, Bellamy, Sutton, Subs Holt, Huckerby, Beundia, Culverhouse, Green Although very creative, needs a bit of Bradley Johnson, or Mick Phelan in there, just couldn’t drop Crook or Maddison.

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted October 24, 2020 Two actual teams come to mind: John Bond's early top flight: Keelan; Machin, Powell, Stringer/Forbes, Sullivan; Suggett, Peters, Morris, McGuire; Boyer, MacDougall. Lacks a class winger. Neighbour came in the next season but MacDougall left after three games. Mike Walker's Europe team: Gunn; Culverhouse, Butterworth, Polston, Bowen; Fox, Crook, Goss, Megson; Sutton, Ekoku. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted October 24, 2020 Whenever this same question comes up in the form of a new thread it gives away the age of the poster so i will start off with Kevin Keelan................😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted October 24, 2020 I'm too lazy to split hairs on certain positions, but absolute bankers would be Keelan, Peters, , Crook and Hucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Walker's Europe team: Gunn; Culverhouse, Butterworth, Polston, Bowen; Fox, Crook, Goss, Megson; Sutton, Ekoku. Totally agree on team 1. Jimmy Neighbour was a favourite of mine but yes what a team that was. Loved the MacDougal / Boyer combination. A great partnership. Big Dunc as well. If I was to take from that team and add then how about this Keelan Aaron's Forbes Bruce Drury Neighbour Peters Crook Huckerby Boyer MacDougall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big O 225 Posted October 24, 2020 This is my best effort, clearly would t work as a team but some class in there 4-2-3-1 Woods Aarons Bowen Linighan Bruce Crook Maddison Fox Bellamy Huckerby Sutton subs, Gunn, Culverhouse, Watson, Townsend, Hoolahan, Holt, Fleck tough on Eadie, Pukki, Buendia, Townsend. only really started watching from 1985 so no Peters, Keelan etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 24, 2020 Based on how they played in the games I watched with some particular highlights mentioned: Rob Green - his debut vs Scum Max Aarons - consistently Ben Godfrey vs Everton last season Seb Bassong - Alex Neil promotion season and Hughton 1st season Adam Drury - consistently Ian Crook - consistently James Maddison - Boro away Wes Hoolahan - Consistently Darren Huckerby - vs Cardiff Dean Ashton - Man U at home Grant Holt - consistently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wroxham Bridge 22 Posted October 24, 2020 Having watched us for over 55 years, its difficult/impossible to compare players from different decades etc but can I name some who should be considered for this team, Kevin Keelan, Ron Ashman, Terry Allcott, Ron Davis, Ted MacD, Martin Peters, Crooky, Grant Holt, Hucks, Sutton, and my all time favourite Kenny Foggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
