[Jedi Shrimper]

Bressington could also be CB, or Chris Barker at LB or CB has to be better than Booty or Broad surely.
Just remembered it's ex-shrimpers. :thump:

Your midfield & front line is looking pretty tasty BlueBlood.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Was just about to post John Burridge would be a better choice of keeper, but Firestorm beat me to it.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

How has Drewe Broughton not be mentioned?

 

[canveyshrimper]

Great call by Firestorm. I'd add Tony Beanland and Terry Bradbury to the list of defenders. Also Bobby Kellard please.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Hey thanks for the thoughts people, here's a few of my deliberations ..

Burridge played what 6 games for us ?? ... (runs off to check and is proved correct) ..Moore played 304 .. case closed

I wrote down Albeson and Terry Bradbury when compiling my squad but couldn't find where at the back they played so omitted them on that basis, Bob W didn't play enough games IMO, Butters likewise though he was immense in that promotion run in, Bressy not good enough i'm afraid, Bobby Kellard was so close to getting in but i plumped for Mark Bentley as a player i watched and loved .. Stuart Brace, Bobby Gilfillan, Ian Benjamin, Mickey Beesley, Billy Hick, Super Frankie Banks all considered but didn't quite do enough, i'm sure i don't know anything about Tony Beanland

If he doesn't get in the 'I' team I'll be most upset!

 

[turkishm]

Mick Bodley, gordon Barker, Harry Baldwin, Franky Banks, Tony Bentley, Peter Butler

Well, I is part of my motley crue team, and so far Ive got Richard Young, Yemi Abiodun, Dominic Iorfa and Ian McNeil. I think Benji might just creep in.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

How about solving the left back problem by sticking Adam Barret there, and picking a new central defender? How about Buzz Lightyear?

and surely it has to be Tes Bramble in goal?

Was that the night Gilmour played...I wish I had been there.

Me? Jealous? :darkcloud:

Just for that, how about Bobby Moore, or Dick Bate as manager? :raspberry:

Graham Birks a fine left back of the late 60's. Problem solved.

Its a tough call for me H .. i'll have to stick with Booty cos i saw him but i'm not overly keen, Birks i've not heard of so again it'd be unfair for me to put him in

If you're using that logic mate you couldn't have seen Billy Moore play, and I know you're at least 80 years younger than Cricko.
Graham Birks was a vastly better player than Booty.

I never saw Billy Best or Bill Garner play but they were the first two names on my teamsheet, closely followed by Billy Moore, his name is right up there in the history of SUFC, only Flavs and Sammy played more games in goal than him. I'm not entirely satisfied with Booty, and your nomination of Birks is greatly appreciated, and the reason i started this thread .. to get some good old fashioned FOOTBALL related chat going, rather than arguing the toss about new grounds that will never be built or **** ups we cant afford to go on (i actually hoped the other chaps would follow my lead but it appears not sadly)

Or Billy Best for that matter!

Did you ever see Budgie play tho Lee? He was absolutely awesome to watch. If yoou're struggling for a defender (and I ahven't checked back) what about Bob Worthington? I'm sure that was the name of one of the Worthington brothers.

It was and the worst of the brothers IMO.
