Best and worst of the last 30 years

Recommended Posts

A Leeds supporting mate of mine has asked me to name what I think are the best and worst BWFC teams of the last 30 years - based on head only. 

Thinking about my time, there've been great players (Djorkaeff, Anelka etc) and players I've loved like Super John, David Lee etc - but would they be the 'best' or just bring fond memories. On the bad side, I'm sure there are loads from the last few years.

Interested to hear thoughts - from 1989 to now

Candela - was he all that for us?

10 games and all I remember is he hit the crossbar v Norwich

nice to watch, but if it's about "best for us" I'd put Gardner and even Charlton in as our left back ahead of him

if it's about the "best" as in what they achieved in their careers, Jardel would be in too with his golden boot

Hence the question mark, left back has been a bit of a shit position for us over the years. 

Players out of position and sub par players. 

That said thinking about it as he's now regular for Spain and Chelsea should have gone for Marcos Alonso.

I'd pretty much go with that but would have to drop a defender for Simon Charlton. Under-rated and under-appreciated imo

He gets put on the bench behind Gardner for being the mole

Can't remember what it was he was leaking but fat Sam weren't happy

Hierro and Gary speed missing from the best team

Hierro doesn't make the best team unless you have the Hierro from Real Madrid. He was on his way out til Sam stumbled on the fact he was a good fit in the Campo role for the latter half of the season. 

By that standing Peter Shilton should be in nets.
