I've no idea, I was youngun when he was playing for us - all I can remember was the people around moaning about him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he went on to win medals with a top team. Unlike Skipp, though, his first touch was 'poor' (putting it mildly) and he was not a crowd favourite at Old Trafford (again, putting it mildly!). I would not have Phelan anywhere near a 'greatest ever NCFC eleven'. He was actually much better at centre back when he filled in there occasionally as he could read the game well from that position. In his normal midfield role, I always thought he was well overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted August 22 Sutton, Ashton, McDougall, Reeves and Drinkell all did the business in the top league. Classy forwards too, I’d perm any one or two from those 5 for a forward line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry but if we're truly being objective (as much as fans can be of course!) then Duncan and Iwan would simply not make the cut. Trawling through the various suggestions, it's mighty strange that C Fleming only made the bench with one poster and nowhere to be seen with the other selections! Bruce and Watson seem favourites and that's a decent shout. However that 2003/2004 defence as a whole took some beating and Fleming with Malky was a super pairing. Left back is a close call between Bowen and Drury, I think the competition for said position is trailing well behind those two! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
