post premiership mate.

I moved to where I live aged 10 (1984) and everyone at my school was Forest, Liverpool or Man Utd. The lads I fell in with were Man Utd so, so was I. it wasn't until mid teens that I started following it properly. As Baron said, an all time list ??? where do you start. bet to stick to an era I know a bit about.

Fair enough. Do you think Rooney and Cantona are a bit similar? No out and out goalscorer there. Great team though.


Title: Re: N/P: Your Club's Best XI
Post by: AdamM on May 11, 2006, 11:10:27 AM
thing with Pallister and Bruce is 'Together' os the key word. Stam was great and I know it's not popular to say but Im a ferdinand fan too but with centre halfs I think the key is in the partnership and the three man relationship with the keeper. that back three is IMO the best of my generation.

point taken about Cantona and Rooney but you have to pick both. just have to give scholes a free roll to go forward and Giggs runs in too.

 ;iagree; I always got stick in Liverpool about Hansen not playing as often for Scotland (this is probably why he's such a little Englander now)... But the best partnership was Miller & McLeish. Hansen played the Liverpool way & instincively made a move expecting his partner to get it - tis caused havoc at times when others weren't on the same wavelength. Dalglish had similar problems at times - playing balls for Rush that were wasted becasue his strike partner wasn't on the same wavelength. Dalglish was good enough to overcome that though.

GRRRR Ferguson STOLE Chocky from us! 2 years before he was whinging about English clubs getting away with underpaying for players from Scotland (Transfer Tribunal System), then he took the top goal-scorer 3 years running for £850K.

TBH though Celtic made a mess of his contract negotiations.

Because it is usually a toss up between Eric Cantona and Ralph Milne as to who gets the No 7 shirt - not much competition really........  ;goodvevil;

I would pick Pires ahead of Rocky

In a 4 4 2 agreed - but the man cant tackle which ruled him out of a 3 man midfield for me.

And besides as a young lad I always wanted Rockys right foot and Paul Davis right hook.

i have. its mad how me and nakor have picked 9 of the same 11 though and i didnt read his post before i done mine.

i was talking to a mate as i was typing mine and we struggled to name a "great" right sided player but could name loads of left hand sided ones but as pires could play on  both i went for him

I tend to agree. He was lazy as hell at tracking back (even Keano hammered him in his book for this) and in Europe against other classy players from the continent he struggled badly. Went totally missing in some games.

I doubt he'd have the same impact today against a league with many foreigners all of whom have his technique.

SO my team:  (Based on Players I seen)

                                                                           Bonner

                                             McGrain            Elliot          Rieper       McKinlay

Subs:  Given, Morris, Rogan, Burley, Sutton, Maloney.

Now best team of all time:


                                                                  Thompson

                                                  McGrain      McNeil      Clarke      Gemmell

Obviously you didn't know much about Barnes pre 1990 then. In 86 he was outstanding.

Whoway? Now I know you're taking the piss.

Robson/Scholes were the two England midfielders who've scored the most golas for England ever!

big sol is not good enoght to make our best 22 let alone 11. no way would he get infront of adams,mclintock,oleary,bould,keown.

although in some seasons he has been outstanding in defence the above guys must have 50 years + between them and performed at the highest level in that time. i think if sol had been an arsenal player all his career he might get in

SO my team:  (Based on Players I seen)

                                                                           Bonner

                                             McGrain            Elliot          Rieper       McKinlay     

                                             Miller               Aitken      McStay       Collins

                                                             Larrson             McAvennie

Subs:  Given, Morris, Rogan, Burley, Sutton, Maloney.

Now best team of all time:


                                                                  Thompson

                                                  McGrain      McNeil      Clarke      Gemmell

                                                   Jinky        Auld      McStay       Lennox

                                                                  Larrson   Dalglish





The Bear in midfield???? Liam 6 games Miller? McAvennie you've got a point about - the stikers we were spoiled for choice.

And McGrory out of the best ever? Controvertial.....  :D

Joe Miller is my right winger - I can't believe you thought a man of my principal would have that dirty wee langer pig Liam Miller in my team!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhh

The bears best position was in midfield before being moved to centre back.

In truth though Rod there are so many great players who have worn the hoops that I have missed.

One thing I did though was rule people out through their political convictions.

Guys like Di Canio - greta player but I could never have a supporter of facism in any of my teams.

MoJo was a great striker but he stuck the kife in the back.

I also missed out guys who where amazing players like McClair, Delaney. McGrory, Murdoch, Chalmers, Wallace, and many many more!!

No doubt My Granda whose been watching celtic for nearly 70 years would disagree with about 70% of my team.

Mon the HOOPS!!

Good reply.... I had to put politics aside for Di Canio & Pierre "Big Issue" Van H.

McClair outscored Judas every season - that's why he got in & le Petit Merde wasn't near the bench.

Wee Joe never quite got up to the level he had the potential for - Naka's superior in my view.

There's also Marko 70% Viduka & Jackie Dziekanowski - probably the most talented strikers we've had - but the attitude was lacking.

I am picking my team mainly on players I have seen since I started watching them in the mid 80's.

Leeds UTD:

Keeper:

Nigel Martyn - Its a real shame he was Englands understoody for so many years.

Defense:

Jonathan Woodgate (If he is fit and he was for a good 3-4 years with Leeds he is complete class).

Radebe (The African prince, pure class and a gentleman to boot)

Tony Dorigo (Attacking fullback who was part of title winning team).

Paul Madeley (Played every position for Leeds and was a true utility player).

Midfield

Gordon Strachan (Got a second wind when he came to Leeds from Utd, pulled leeds from the second division to the title and beyond within 3 years.)

David Batty (Ok ok so he didnt score many goals but really you want to pick a fight with him?)

John Sheridan (A flashback to the 80's really classy player who was swiflty sent packing when Wilkinson came in and disliked his "naughty" habits)

Gary Speed (Mr consistent, heart of the Leeds championship team. He scored lots of goals for Leeds)

Upfront:

John Charles (Upfront or defense) The only Brit to this day who has gone to Italy and been a complete success.

Lee Chapman (Was not always the most popular player in the world but he could score goals and when Leeds won promotion and the title he did the business for Leeds over 3-4 seasons)

Subs:

Tony Yeboah (Impact player and on his day he would score some unreal goals! aka vs.  Liverpool and Wimbledon)

Jack Charlton (Well he could come on and ruff some players up when needed :)

Billy Bremner (You loooking at me? )

Norman Hunter (Bite yer legs)

Again I know people will complain about me not picking older players but I am going on my experiances and live games watched.

                           Lee
Gascoigne          Beardsley           Milburn
                Gallagher  Shearer


p.s Shay Given, officially best goalie in the Premiership. ;)

And that's Hugie Gallagher up front (143 goals in 173 games), not Kevin (although Kevin had one great season for us).

I can't put Waddle in ahead of Gazza, Beardsley or Milburn. Waddle wasn't as naturally talented as Gazza, even though both had their best years at Spurs. I can't not have Rob Lee in, I still have memories of his hat-trick of headers against Royal Antwerp when we tonked them 5-0 away from home. Waddle and Ivor Allchurch are my sub-midfielders.  8)

Ben Thatcher as well,bought for £5million. sold for £0.

RP: You didnt pay £6million for him! You got Wrighty for free.

Just paid his wages.... He wasn't worth what we paid for him let alone paid him.

If we're talking wastes of money - Barnes & Dalglish bought a Brasilian international defender for £5m on the strength of a promotional video & a few caps in friendlies. 1 year later Martin O'Neill tells him "Ye see, Rafael, you can do everything on a pitch that I can do. The problem is, i'm 46 years old." - we ended up PAYING him to leave. Evven his name was a clue - Raphael Scheidt.

IMHO any "greatest" liverpool or arsenal team HAS to include ray kennedy.
he was the 1970/71 PFA young player of the year and his strength touch,approach play and powerful left foot made him top goal scorer in two seasons at highbury.
after signing for liverpool, bob paisley produced a masterstroke and played him in left midfield where he was a revelation.his great vision,control and passing ability,as well as his power and shooting accuracy gave a new dimension to liverpools play.
who can ever forget the kennedy pass that put Fairclough through o0n that famous night against ST Ettienne.throughout the seventies he was arguably the best player in english football.in his time at liverpool he won 15 major honours.
very rarely seen nowadays as he suffers from parkinsons,but a match to raise funds for him between arsenal and liverpool in 1991 at highbury saw 18000 turn up to show their appreciation.
ray kennedy.............a giant of a man, on and o0ff the pitch.

ok heres mine - Arsenal post 1980 n(when i got my 1st season ticket)

                                        Seaman

Dixon            Adams                 Toure               Cole

Rocastle        Vieira                   Brady               Overmars

                    Henry           Bergkamp

unfortunately 3 into 2 does not go - Arsenal have always played 4-4-2 (apart from a little 3-5-2 under Graham / Rioch) so there is no point in trying to include all 3 of Bergkamp, Henry, and Wrighty.  Bergkamp is a centre forward not a playing behind the front 2 - he has never done it for arsenal, ajax or holland.. and you cannot leave out a left midfielder.

So we have to leave one of the three out and it is so tough - the only autmoatic is Henry but despite his goals i am going to have to go for bergkamp ahead of wrighty.  unbelievable my fave arsenal team and only a place on the bench for wrighty.

The other choice is adams centre back partner - O'Leary, Bould, Keown, Campbell and i plump for toure!!!  But i tell you something that lad is unbelievable and i have posted it before time and time that his centre back style is the future - the big burly centrebacks dont work in the modern game - i loved bouldy but he would just struggle against the pace of defoe, henry, ronaldo, walcott etc....

Adams and Toure for me are the perfect mix for me- but it was a tough call.......

As for my top 5 arsenal heroes - (just because a player makes it into my team does not make him my hero).

But for me this is easy

1. Rocky (i miss this guy so much, as an impressionable teenager when he was playing, he just made me love arsenal so much)
2. Adams
3. Wrighty
4. Henry
5. Bergkamp

These are my true heroes - whether for passion / flair or a combination of both.

who are your footballing heroes??

Footballing hero's well that quite tough.

As a Celtic supporter growing up a stone throw from the park and comingf rom the family I have come from itw as always emphasised to me growing up that Celtic was a family club, through the years we have had some great foreign stars grace our game and our team some have been great on the park but arseholes off it some have been piss poor on the park but great geezers off it.

However, for me the thinga bout being a Celtic fan that I want to see most from any player, manager or worker at the club is committment and passion so in no particular order they are as follows:

Tommy Burns
Peter Grant
Neil Lennon
Berti Auld
Johnny Doyle

I first started watching and supporting Arsenal in 1958 whenTommy Docherty was the latest and most expensive signing for £43k. from Preston North End, and Jack Kelsey was still in goal. George Swindin was the manager and it was a miracle that they were not relegated in that season or the ones following.

This is my team:

                                         Kelsey or Seaman (tough choice)

             
                     Male          Adams       Keown           McNab


                  George           Vieira             Brady           Pires                 


                                 Bergkamp                  Henry


           Subs: Wright, O'Leary, Rice, McLintock, Rocastle.

I don't really have footballing heroes.  But the player I most admire, certainly at club level has to be Keith Ryan.  He joined Wycombe just before Martin O'Neill and became a staple in our midfield, although he eventually played in every position on the pitch.  If it wasn't for injury he could have played a lot higher.  I suspect O'Neill would have taken him to Leicester along with Steve Guppy.  I met him in the late nineties and whenever he sees me now he will always say hello.  Talk to any Wycombe fan and they usually have some sort of Rhino story to tell.  The man is an absolute Wycombe Legend. 

He had to retire this year when he realised the end of season was going to be a tough run, but he is now assistant manager and will hopefully take us up.

Its amazing how many of us gooners pick Rocky, despite the fact that in the end he never played THAT many games and was sold on the cheap to Leeds and never recovered any form.  Also hardly played for England.

However - i cannot ever imagine having an arsenal dream team without him in it.  He was Arsenal through and through and i think that he has always held a special place in our hearts even if he hadnt died so tragically young
