Best City XI

Welcome to the forum Tommy.

My team would be pretty similar to most and built up mainly of the Jewell promotion and PL team.

The likes of Gus Uhlembeek, Nigel Pepper would be in the discussion RE favs, then the history makers obviously have to be discussed - Jones, Wells, Hanson especially.

 

Yes, those two need no further names. To be fair, I think that Ces belongs in that category as well. It's been a long time since we had players worthy of our Hall of Fame, let alone of being known only by their first names.

I wouldn't know where to start but thanks for the memories.

 

Stuart, Bobby, Ces & Joe. Give me those first names only and I know who you mean. The rest could be any number unless they are names we've only had one of in my time like Bernie, Gerry & Nahki.

 

The Gerry Ingram / Alan Gilliver combination was one of the best. My vote for the classiest centre forward of that era would go to Paul Aimson who had a relatively short but impressive spell at City.

 

My best City XI since I started going in 1986:

GK: Gary Walsh
LB: Wayne Jacobs
CB: Andrew Davies
CB: Darren Moore
RB: Stephen Darby
LW: Peter Beagrie
CM: Stuart McCall
CM: Lee Duxbury
RW: Mark Marshall
ST: Robbie Blake
ST: Lee Mills

Subs:
Jon McLaughlin, James Meredith, Nigel Pepper, Kyel Reid, Dean Windass, Edinho, James Hanson.

 

My favourite but necessarily the best would be,

GK Tomlinson
RB Stephen Darby
CB Dave Evans
CB Dean Richards
LB Wayne Jacobs
MF Stuart McCall
MF Josh Cullen
RW John Hendrie
LW Peter Beagrie
ST Bobby Campbell
ST Dean Windass

 

I'm singing the Gerry Ingram song in my mind now but i can't for the life in me remember the title of the song.
I know it was a heavy metal band that sang it but i just can't remember, any ideas? it's bugging me.

 

Best is not easy to define for me as I have some fabulous memories of plenty of players who played in the same position eg Paul Tomlinson/Gary Walsh.

We also had some great combinations Hanson/Wells Campbell/Hawley Evans/Jackson Youds/Mohan

GK Tomlinson
RB Stephen Darby
CB Andrew Davies
CB Peter Jackson
LB Wayne Jacobs
MF Stuart McCall
MF Mick Kennedy
RW John Hendrie
LW Peter Beagrie
ST Bobby Campbell
ST James Hanson

My Subs:
G Walsh
D Wetherall
D Windass
S McCarthy
N Wells
