The Best Norwich Team Ever....

[Paradox 0]

Ok, I was having a chat with my brother the other day and we were trying to put together the best ever Norwich team. Apologies if this is a thread that has been done before, but even if it has I would love to know what the final team was. I''m only 25, so please excuse my ignorance if I leave out the stars before my era. Anyway, here is ours.....

Woods

Bowen Bruce Watson Linighan

Barham O''Neill Crook Peters

Sutton Bellamy

Here goes.....

it''s 4-3-3

Tracey
Fugelstatd Walsh Grant Derveld

De Waard Marshall Anselin

Cottee Coote Peschisoledo

Sorry P but i coudn''t resist!

Makes you feel a whole lot better about the current setup though don''t you think?

Anybody have any "improvements"? not sure whether Fugelstatd, Anselin or Marshall could be ranked as bad as some of the dross there, depends which games you saw i suppose.

I''m sure we''ve had some worse strikers over the years too, please help!

Gordon Crook Townsend Eadie
Sutton Bellamy

Good shout with Dale Gordon - how could I forget?!!

Not sure about Holt though - never really been tested in the top flight.

My other team members I wanted to put in were Ruel Fox & Fashnu, but couldn''t put them above Peters (World Cup winner) or Fash over Bellers / Sutton.

Has to be the only Norwich team I can recite from memory - Keelan, Black, Payne, Stringer, Forbes, Briggs, Livermore, Bone, Cross, Paddon, Foggo.

[DumbleDelia is Magic 0]

How about:

Green
Drury Fleming Mackay Edworthy
McViegh Francis Holt
McKenzie Svensson Huckerby

Any takers?

Yep I''ll agree with you DD, but there''s one small problem. I''d have to have Mulryan in there but I don''t know who for, either McVeigh or Francis. There''s no way I can exclude Holt!

you''ve got my vote.

[ZLF 271]

DD yours gets my vote for the best Div 1 team ever but my all time 11, when at the peak of their powers, would be

Woods

Culverhouse Bruce Watson Bowen

Fox Crook Peters Eadie

Sutton Bellamy





Subs
Keelan
Butterworth
Townsend
Drinkell
Reeves

Of the current team Greeno clearly has the potential to become our best ever keeper so the question in a couple of years time & Hux could squeeze in too if he has as big an impact in the premier (if we make it! (OK 1st Wiz?)) as he has this season.

[Old Yeller 0]

Keelan


Stringer Bruce Watson Bowen


Suggett Mc. Guire Paddon Eadie


Fleck Davies



Subs: Woods Reeves Sutton Townsend Phelan

A little unhappy about David Stringer at right back but he started there and I wanted him in somewhere. Suggett would probably throw a strop about being wide right rather than down the middle. Phelan makes the bench because of his versatility. Would love to have seen Flecky partnered by Ron davies when both were in their prime.
