A ‘worst team’ NEEDS to have Chris Taylor in it, the man was a disgrace.

Cid and 50p head Zat Knight as centre backs 

Cid definitely, but don't think Knight can be in there - 150+ appearances, ok, he was had a touch of calamity about him, but you don't keep getting picked if your the worst there is

plus he had good games

Ricketts an interesting call. At his peak he was unplayable. But his best didn't last long enough....

Yep good shout, it was weird how he lost his touch - just as we sold him!!! Never forget him smashing DMB's all over Old Trafford - happy days...

Ricketts would get in based on what his goals meant for us (and that he was one, if not the best, finisher we've had)

19 goals to get us promoted
12 to keep us up
first England call up in how long?

did more of us than Anelka, played twice as many games, but clearly wasn't as good

SKD gets in ahead of both of them surely

That I guess comes down to the difference between favourite and best. 

Anelka was one of the most talented players I've seen in a white shirt. Probably on a par with Youri and Jay Jay for ability how ever his long term impact doesn't come close.

Depends. Anelka for me is the best striker I’ve seen play for us. Do you judge it on contribution or quality?

Contribution for me, which is why the likes of Candela and Hierro don't get a sniff, quality is relative
