Sly Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 I'm sure we've done this in the past, but what do you all class as your best XI??? Who'd lead your team and who would you choose for your bench???

Monk Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 If I had a choice between Gordon Banks and Peggey Arphenxad..... And it was a penalty shootout... I'd always choose Peggey! My hero.
Monk Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 I'm surprised I'm the only one who's said joachim so far
Manwell Pablo Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 Woooooah...that's spooky! I'd prefer to think of it as being clued up
Sly Posted 22 February 2006 Author Posted 22 February 2006 Flowers Stearman Elliott Walsh Thatcher (best of a bad bunch) Izzet Wesolowski Lennon Tommy Wright Collymore Dickov Subs: Savage, Taggart, Keller, Fryatt, Guppy Interesting.....above Savage???? He definitively has the potential. I'm surprised more people don't go for Gary Lineker either.
Ric Flair Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 I'm surprised I'm the only one who's said joachim so far I was going to include him alongside Collymore, but he was a one season wonder even though it was an amazing season!!!
Monk Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 He is in my XI Just for that Barnsley goal. Love it.
Thracian Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 Banks/Shilton; Pontus Kaamark, Richie Norman; Frank McLintock, Ian King, Colin Appleton; Lennie Glover, Gary Lineker, Frank Worthington , David Gibson, Mike Stringfellow/Derek Hogg. Subs: Richard Stearman, Matt Elliott, Muzzy, Alan Smith, Stringfellow/Hogg. Seven of those players were in the City squad at the time they topped Division One, which hit the Law, Best, Charlton Manchester United side for six goals at Filbert Street, and City to the best spell in their history.

Where's Weller?
Thracian Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 Where's Weller? I nearly put another asterisk alongside Stringy and Hogg but on balance I was inclined to Stringfellow because he was an important cog in what was a very successful side at the very top level. However, the point might be made that any winger would think he'd got a permanent birthday playing alongside Gibson. He could spin and flight his passes exactly where people wanted them. Hogg was also brilliant at taking people on and leaving them for dead. Very much in the Guppy mould but a better dribbler.
davieG Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 An absolutely impossible task for me, so it's a mixture of favourites and best. GK - Gordon Banks RB - Steve Whitworth CB - Ian King CB - Steve Walsh LB - David Nish RMF - Keith Weller CMF - Muzzy Izzett CMF - Davie Gibson LMF - Mike Stringfellow ST - Derek Doogan, Frank Worthington Subs GK - Peter Shilton Defenders - Denis Rofe, Matt Elliott Midfield - Graham Cross Forward - Gary Lineker Squad Players GK - Mark Wallington Defenders - Richie Norman, Peter Rodrigues, Tony Knapp Midfield - Frank McLintock, Neil Lennon, Lennie Glover, Howard Riley, Jackie Sinclair Strikers - Ken Leek, Jimmy Walsh

I forgot about Pontus, this is way, way too hard. I keep wanting to add names to mine.
Thracian Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 I forgot about Pontus, this is way, way too hard. I keep wanting to add names to mine. Couldn't agree more. Derek Dougan was damn good when I saw him and so entertaining, Allan "Sniffer" Clarke was an England striker, Tony Knapp was as top class at centre-half ... frightening. Like you say, the moment you think that's it, someone else comes to mind. And no mention Arthur Rowley! Did neither of us want to admit remembering him?

Ric Flair Posted 22 February 2006 Posted 22 February 2006 Interesting.....above Savage???? He definitively has the potential. I'm surprised more people don't go for Gary Lineker either. I didn't go for Lineker because I never saw him in a Leicester shirt. I did however see him several times for England and whilst playing for Spurs but never for Leicester as I was too young. As for Wesolowski, he's the best youngster i've ever seen come through the ranks and he'll have a better career than Robbie Savage if these injuries don't ruin him. I predict that if we did this XI in 5 or 6 years then even Davieg and Thracian (if still coherant ) would include Wesolowski in their starting XI even rivalling their idol Davie Gibson

Arthur Rowley, I'm sad to say I never saw play, I first went down in 1960 and even then I have no recollection of some of the players of that time like Ian White.
