BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted March 10, 2008 [quote user="ricardo"][quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="jas the barclay king"] obviously fans of an "older generation" are going to have an advantage having seen the greats of yesteryear... [/quote]It''s not really an advantage Jas when you consider how many the OG''s have to choose from. It makes it more difficult really. I pick from 1967 onwards and choose from: -GK: Keelan, Woods, Gunn, Green.RB: Machin, Culverhouse, Nedergaard.LB: Sullivan, Downes, Bowen.CB: Stringer, Forbes, Jones, Powell, Hareide, Watson, Bruce, Butterworth, Linnighan, Polston, Newsome, Fleming, Mackay.MF: Bryceland, Anderson, Paddon, Livermore, Suggett, Peters, O''Neill, Phelan, Williams, Crook, Townsend, Phillips, Safri.Wingers: Foggo, Neighbour, Barham, Gordon, Fox, Adams, Eadie, Huckerby.Forwards: Curran, Cross, Bone, MacDougall, Boyer, Reeves, Fashanu, Royle, Deehan, Channon, Drinkell, Fleck, Sutton, Ekoku, Robins, Bellamy, Roberts, Ashton, Svensson, Earnshaw, Dublin.So... I always start with Keelan and include Peters but otherwise choose a different eleven everytime.Tell you what though... it''s great being an old git and seeing that lot play for City [;)][Y] [/quote]Pretty good Nutty but I beg to make a few additions.Keepers NethercottBacks Dennis Morgan, Barry StatonCB Monty Norman, Barry ButlerMF Jimmy HillWingers Bobby Brennan, Errol CrossanForwards Ron Davies, Terry AllcockImpossible to pick one team when you''ve seen so many good players but I would have to agree with you that Peters and Keelan pick themselves. All else is personal preference.[/quote]"''fraid that''s before nutty''s time Ricardo.Annoys the devil out of him that he wasn''t there.Accounts for summat I s''pose![;)][:)]OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He won player of the year for us in our promotion season of ''82 and won the FA Cup with Coventry in ''87 when he crossed the ball for their first equalizing goal.

Bury Green 0 Posted March 11, 2008 This is my 34th season so here you go but first a question, whilst Keelan was a great keeper and a great Norwich City player was he actually better than Chris Woods?

Yellow Rider 0 Posted March 26, 2008 From the official list of players, the voting of the Yellow Rider jury is as follows:Keeper : KeelanFull Backs : Culverhouse and BowenCentre Backs: Bruce and WatsonMidfielders: O''Neill, Peters, CrookWinger; HuckerbyStrikers: Davies, McDougall Wow! What a line up that is, although I don''t go much on the ''work rate'' in midfield! That''s why I sacrificed an out and out right winger for a more ''midfield'' type player in O''Neill.Problem is I was too young to see the likes of the 59 team so cannot comment on them in detail but fans then would undoubtedly include Barry Butler.Martin Peters must be an absolute ''nail on'' to make the Greatest Ever - if not there is something seriously wrong with fans judgement (anyone over about age 45 would remember Peters playing for us).At centre back I think Bruce & Watson was one of the best partnerships we''ve ever had, certainly more class and flexibility than Forbes / Stringer.Forwards were a real problem - although I rated Iwan in his last few years in truth he is very lucky to ''make the cut'' and be considered against others on this list like Ron Davies, Chris Sutton, John Deehan etc. Deehan is often very underrated due largely to fans opinion being coloured by his unsuccessful spell as manager. As a forward he was outstanding in almost all aspects of his game - ball control, hold up play, vision (watch any video and you will see how he played with his head up), heading and shooting ability.Almost any two forwards from the list could be picked with real justification but Davies was one of the best headers of the ball in the game at the time and McDougall was a top finisher. Nearly forgot the manager - again a difficult choice but Ken Brown wins it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
