Found an old team sheet from a Pontins League Division 1 from December 1998 away at Burnley . A Very strong Wanderers 11 + 6 subs . Can you guess the line up . 

Dont expect anyone to know the Burnley team , I'd only ever heard of one of them . 

A bit blurry, but some names springing to mind would be - Whitlow, Charlton, Fish, Barness, Jenson, Frandsen, Hanson, Holdsworth.

Solid attempts , you have one correct in Holdsworth. 

Too difficult to remember exactly who was here when. Something like:

Branagan

Bergsson, Fairclough, Taggart, Elliott

Johansen, Sellars, Thompson, Gardner

Gunlaughson, Holdsworth 

Subs: Jaaskelainen, Frandsen, Jenson, Taylor, Beardsley, Gudjohnsen

Flippin ‘eck!  Just one 🙄. Struggling to think who was actually there in those years just before Big Sam.

A few more random names then - Eidur, Gudni, Gunnlaurgson, Johannsen, Cox, Elliot.

Have you got the year wrong? we didn't play Burnley in 98, different years, we played them in 94 away in the 90's, but did play them in 2000 in division 1 in December

I looked because I didn't recognise Pontins as a sponsor lol, just curious

Pontins sponsored the reserves league. Don't know if the mix up is with the question or the answers. Dont know if naming a full squad of reserves from getting on for thirty years ago would impressive or terrifying.
