Not a bad selection. I have to say that Ward and Zamora playing together at the peak of their powers would have been unbelievably exciting to watch...

Its difficult choosing take Vicente he didn't play that much but I haven't seen much better than him on his day in the last 25 plus years ive been a fan. Do you know why Ward didn't get more recognition at international level?

 

[BrianWade4]

Brian horn ton definitely much better than Elliott Bennett

Great captain and real leader

I really like this selection. It's three eras, kind of. Cullip is a great shout, I'm really surprised to see him there though. Maybe ups on over cullip?

I felt that Cullip was a class above before he joined Sheff United absolute nails as well. Im surprised you didn't mention Gotsmanov!

For me, since 1997..

1. Michel Kuipers
2. Inigo Calderon
3. Paul Watson
4. Liam Bridcutt
5. Danny Cullip
6. Gordon Greer
7. Elliott Bennett
8. Richard Carpenter
9. Craig Mackail-Smith
10. Bobby Zamora
11. Paul Brooker

No Bridge or Upson because they only played one season. No Vicente because he achieved a lot less than Paul Brooker did. Buckley will be in there if he continues to improve as he is doing.

Brooker was a great player not sure CMS is in the mix just yet its not really been a great move for him so far. Vicente on his day was untouchable

I think I would slot Robbo in for Ward and use Wardy ad the impact sub. But otherwise.

 

[GoingUp]

No Jimmy Case

I genuinely forgot Glenn Murray.

Murray for CMS for me. Nicky Forster is a big shout too.

Inconsistency. Played his way into the England side by summer of 1980 then scored one goal in about 11 at the start of the following season.

What happened the following season for his fortunes to change so much?

 

[TheMajor]

How about an "Up For A Ruck" hard man eleven

1. Kuszszak
2. Ken Tiler
3. Harry Wilson
4. Brian Horton
5. Steve Foster
6. Dougie Rougvie
7. Hans Kray
8. Jimmy Case (capt)
9. Kevin Bremner
10. Sammy Morgan
11. Gerry Armstrong.

Not a very balanced side but they would put the fear of god into the opposition. Any I've missed ?

The answer is almost certainly that Ray Clarke left Brighton for Newcastle

Wot, no Paul Clark? If you're going for a tough guy XI you need Tank in there somewhere. Would also argue a case for El Abd!

Good shouts - especially Tank.

Tank on his own would do the job

Surely Kuipers over Kuszszak in this team?

I would love to have a season ticket for that side.

I think I wouldn't have a sub keeper on the bench and go for Mark Gall (wish we saw more of him) or Gary Nelson instead. John Byne and Mike Small would have to be a double substitution of course?
