Take out Baines and Arteta in that case. Players on my bench probably have more quality but They fit the team system perfectly and never let us down. I'd love 2 players like Kev and Alan in the squad now.
Swap Brown for Wilson and there you have it (Sandy of course as sub)
I thought the OP meant trams you had actually seen playing together. If that is not the case , I would replace Sandy Brown with Ray Wilson. Wouldn't change another thing though
Yeah, I thought it was teams that actually played together, and for the 2 years that team was so magical Ray had gone to Oldham i think.Swap Brown for Wilson and there you have it (Sandy of course as sub)
Love our Inchy,you look at the legacy he left and some fantastic memories and goals, the obvious ones Oxford/Southampton,but what a game he had for us in the 5-0 v Man U,also how he returned after Marwood clipped his wings scoring some great/vital goals in the 1987 title season.
He was a brilliant player, in many ways a microcosm of that team: technical but also tenacious.
It was just as good a team when Keith Newton replaced Ray. If pushed, I’d personally choose Newton, top player.Swap Brown for Wilson and there you have it (Sandy of course as sub)
Yep!
The great thing about this is that our greatest-ever side had great players who wouldn't be guaranteed a starting place. Andy Gray only got in because Heath got injured. Kevin Richardson, who would go on to win two titles at Arsenal, was another super player who wasn't assured of a place. There was no better utility player than Alan Harper. In an era of one sub, this shows you that we had a certain depth. Today? We've got about seven good players, a few passengers, and nothing to come off the bench.
