For anyone not around pre-80s it's going to be next to impossible not to pick slight variations on the same team.

 

Mark Gavin was my favourite player at one time but he's not getting anywhere near the sides we were putting out mid-90s!

Not at Burnden.

Quite right- as a centre half then. Nat has to lead the line though.

Bruce rioch

 

Branagan

Borrows. P Jones taggart dunne

Lee mcateer Reid P. Thompson

Worthington mcginley

Subs byrom a. Thompson curcic

Regardless if you never seen him play, a team without Lofthouse should automatically be discounted

Problem with these things is the bias to modern day.

 

Branagan one my all time favourites better than Hopkinson ? Who I never saw play.

 

Surely the teams from 20s and 50s would all be better than most modern players ?

Front three; nat, David Jack, one from (Anelka, walker and ricketts)

Forgot my lb.....Nicholson

Nicholson was a right back.

Front three; nat, David Jack, one from (Anelka, walker and ricketts)

Anelka and ricketts never played at burden.

Eddie Hopkinson would have to be goalkeeper though

Anelka and ricketts never played at burden.

I'm not getting the hang of this.

 

Worthington then. Forgot about him initially, having played at a higher level than walker.

Nicholson was a right back.

I

I wanted Gudni in at right back but loved Nicholson for his energy & enthusiasm so squeezed him in ahead of Tony Dunne.

No mention for Freddie Hill?

Can you pick SKD based on his Chesterfield appearance?
