[Herman 9,710]

Bloody good defence Shaunieboy[Y]

Probably Eadie and Holt in the first 11 for me. Can''t count Fashanu as i never saw him except on tv.

John Deehan in there as well, maybe sub.

[Katie Borkins 1]

Apparently it''s the wrong week for this thread, please ask Captain Pompous when it can be safely posted again.

[Herman 9,710]

But Cardiff play in an English league so it''s all fine[:D]

[Canary Willo 0]

If we follow the same theory as Welsh/Scottish threads whereby they were capped by the country and also played for us, these players would form part of the squad, I''m sure people will come up with more,..

 

Chris Woods

Dave Watson

Ryan Bertrand

Martin Peters

Mark Barham

Mick Channon

Peter Osgood

John Ruddy

Dion Dublin

John Fashanu

Scott Parker

 

[Yellow Wal 314]

Polston,Dublin[/quote]A good team. With a few extra years I would definitely have Keelan in for Woods, Peters for Phelan, and Boyer for Drinkell. Ashman might replace Drury, and Fox possibly get ahead of Gordon.

[BroadstairsR 2,138]

Having witnessed both martin Peters and martin O''Neill perform in the Yellow, these would be the first names on my team-sheet.That''s obvious though, less so perhaps Graham Paddon who, for a spell, seemed to single-handedly shine in the team at one time.I remember watching us being slaughtered 5-0 by Leeds in a cup replay at Villa park. We had previously held out for two hard-fought 0-0 draws in this tie.On the way from the ground I overheard a Leeds supporter saying that Norwich only had one player who was any good ie. GP. Perhaps it was just on the night though. [:O]

I was at that game Broady. Leeds were well clinical in front of goal. Alan Clarke got 3 I think. Paddon did play well and Keelan didn''t really have a bad game either. I think both the previous games were score draws because I remember David Cross scoring in both. There was a big crowd there for a neutral venue on a week night. But that little train station was well scary afterwards with a few of us one side and a few thousand of them the other!

Oldest on here without a doubt Purple. My grandad used to tell me about what Lapp used to get up to at school. Tilly''s not far behind. I think he moved up to the school the year they left...

[/quote]Lapps, I was following the criterion of players I had seen. I didn''t realise you were THAT old...[/quote]Oh, I am Purps. I can''t say I remember much about Monty but the players who stand out in my mind from the time were Ken Oxford, Johnny Summers, Noel Kinsey, Tommy Johnston and Reg Foulkes. I think I started going to games around 1952/53.I suggested Maurice Norman because his later achievements for that great Spurs side and England shows what a great player he was and therefore a must in my eleven,

[ZLF 271]

Noel would have to make the welsh side...  great chap

[splutcho 173]

I don''t think I''ve seen enough to make a decent XI, but I would say that the most talented English striker I have seen play for us is Dean Ashton.

[Lets be aving you! 0]

If we''re having Biggins on the subs bench, surely there must be room for Beckford or Coney?

Both were certainly jokers, Lapps.
