The ‘past their best’ XI

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

29 I think. But yeah I struggled at CB. Distin maybe

Distin was best for us and Portsmouth, a young Distin wasn't much tbh. Hitzlsperger you could add in there, Rondon, Lucas Neill, Valente, Aaron Lennon etc
Managerially - Smith, Allardyce

 

[gonetomorrow]

Good team ten years before. Nice balance.

 

[Bedfordblue]

The players who we signed maybe 10 years past their prime, with varying success.

Squad additions/changes welcome:

————-—-Martyn——————-

Young——Gough—Weir???——Sansom

Rodriguez——Gascoigne—Barry—-Ginola

—————Hughes—-Eto————-

Good picks, I’d have Saha over Hughes.

 

[Neiler]

Norman Whiteside.

I had completely forgotten Kenny Sansom ever played for us. Actually, it still doesn't compute.

Is it a dream or was Pat Jennings also on our books in 1986 when Big Nev was crocked? Or am I hallucinating?

Managerial - ancelotti?

 

[twoblue]

Subs - not sure they played but pretty sure we trialed them at the end of their careers.
Alan mcinally
Dalian Atkinson

 

[Moomin]

Nathan Patterson and Joel Robles.

 

[Neiler]

Jesper Blomqvist getting away with murder here.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

David Johnstone

 

[Vaughan]

I think you missed the point there.

just the phrase connotes that they were poor, when 2 of the 3 mentioned won player of the year whilst at the club and were part of sides who finished high up the table

 

[Neiler]

David Johnstone

And Mo.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

And Mo.

And Tommy....3 apps on loan from Celtic

Had completely forgotten about him mate, was dismal times in the forward dept, John Spencer is in there somewhere as well around that time!
