Never ending list...

 

No possible way to cut my list down to a manageable size...but here goes anyways. Players only from my time, and no loanees unless they became permanent signings. Probably not a "best" list, however you define "best," more a "favourites" list. Most of these would get a plaque in my City Hall of Fame, some would get a statue. Starter(s) and backup(s) in each position, but really you wouldn't go wrong with any of these so-called backups as starters. I want good solid reliable pros at the back, grit in the middle, flair on the wings, and strikers who can.

G: Tomlinson / Walsh

RB: Mitchell / Podd

CH: D. Evans, Richards / PA Jackson, Oliver, Sinnott

LB: Jacobs / Goddard

M: Stuart, G. Jones / Hamilton, L. Duxbury

W: Hendrie, Beagrie / Lawrence, Marshall or Daley or K. Reid (can't decide)

F: Bobby, Blake / Windass, Hanson, Mills, J. Cooke (extra CH too if needed!)

About a 25-man squad then, that I'd like to think would do very well indeed.

Well From Recent years, I’d say :

GK : Jordan Pickford
LB : James Meredith
CB : Andrew Davies
CB : Reece Burke
RB : Stephen Darby
LM : Mark Marshall
CM : Josh Cullen
CM : Gary Jones
RM : Adam Reach
ST : Charlie Wyke
ST : Nakhi Wells

 

Can’t believe no one has mentioned big Bobby Campbell he was special for us

 

He's in my list -- a few posts above. No doubt about including him (or Stuart).

The only 2 players identified with just their first name @River_City_Bantam . It speaks volumes.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
