HM Prison select 11

[TheDuke]

How close did our Clive Walker get to a custodian holiday

 

[Questions]

Any of the old boys remember Graham French. Saw him against the Albion a few times.

French scored what is often regarded as Luton Town's greatest ever goal in a match against Mansfield Town on 18 September 1968. He collected the ball on the edge of his own penalty area and set off on a mazy run through the Mansfield team. He then drew the goalkeeper off his line, rounded him and slotted the ball into the net.[6]
[edit]Later career
A shooting incident in a pub in 1970 resulted in him serving a three-year prison sentence.[1][6][7] Luton Town gave him the chance to return on his release, but prison life had taken its toll on French, and he was unable to regain his place in the team.[1][6] A short loan spell at Reading proved to be a last hurrah, and he soon left to play in the United States with the Boston Minutemen.[8] He only made three appearances for the Minutemen, and spent two years out of the game before reappearing in 1976 with Southport under the assumed name of Graham Lafite.[1

So this is to work out a starting 11 not just throwing names in. Lets say 442 start with attackers (in a football sense) and move down. Must be room for Robin Friday in attack!

If we're short on fullbacks play a 3-5-2.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Ok so where are we. Cantona didn't do any bird so he's out.

Up front. Duncan Ferguson. Robin Friday?
Middle. Jermaine pennant. Micky Thomas. ? George Best
FB / CB.Peter Storey. Tony Adams. ? ?
Keeper?

Can we better that either with crime or ability?

Bradley Orr at right back.

Assaulted someone outside a Bristol nightclub a few years back while at City-

Peter Storey's been mentioned a couple of times - he was not a bad player. Played for England several times. There's also Gary Charles, he also played for England.

They were both right backs though.
Trying to think of a left back

EDIT: Didn't think Robin Friday had been to prison. Just checked and he went to a young offenders institute but not prison itself - does that count?

 

[Beach Hut]

Has Barton been in jail yet ?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Peter Storey can go in midfield, I guess.

 

[Race]

Goalies?

it's true i tell you!

 

[kevtherev]

Thoughts from last time

 

[matthew]

Ian Wright

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I've been given a verbal warning for having a piss outside Blockbusters, can I play?

 

[Doc Lynam]

Peter Storey can go in midfield, I guess.

Nah play him at fullback that was his position.

 

[Gwylan]

If you want another CB, we could have another Albion old boy. Graham Cross did some time after leaving Brighton

 

[Doc Lynam]

So we need a centre half and keeper.

Team so for. Open to changes if better.

----------------------------Robin Friday / Duncan Ferguson

------George Best / Mickey Thomas/ Mark Ward/ Jermaine Pennent

Luke McCormick the ex-Plymouth keeper is serving time.

 

[Gwylan]

So we need a centre half

See directly above

 

[Lady Whistledown]

McCormick is English but if we're talking international class keepers who've done bird it's got to be Higuita or Chilavert.

Both FLAIR but I think I'd go for Higuita.
