My Favourite all time Gulls team, what,s yours!

[sam_]

Marriot
Hockley - Woods - Branston - Nicholson
Buster Philips - Mansell - Hargreaves - Hill
Sills - Gritton


(I know Hockley wasn't officially a RB, but A, we've never had a good one, and B, he played a bit there!)

Is that the slowest forward line in the history of the game?

[jonnyfive]

And zero creativity from midfield..!

Not a great lineup at all, but in terms of likeability, they were all legends.

Olejnik
Gibbs Moore Gittens Watson Gurney

O'Kane Hargreaves Russell

Jack Graham

No coincidence that gibbs and gurney scored so many when playing with 3 CB.

Not seen sammy collins in anyone's squad. Wish i knew what sought of player he was.

Not seen Sammy Collins in anyone's squad. Wish I knew what sort of player he was.

Tommy Northcott;
Sam Collins, Robin Stubbs.

Subs: Terry Adlington, John Benson, Colin Bettany, Harold Dobbie, Tony Scott, Eunan O'Kane, Alan Welsh.

Gareth Southgate ????? I don't recall him ever playing in goal for us ?? I take it you mean Gareth Howells ...... or perhaps Neville Southall ? Keep taking the tablets - you'll be fine. That's a good looking team, Stefano. Bobby Baxter is a good choice (I'd almost forgotten him) but I think I'd go for McGlinchey. And unless I was Chris Hargreaves, I wouldn't play Gareth Southgate out of position in goal ...... !

Mo Gull - SAMMY COLLINS was in my team !!! All time top scorer - more of a goal 'poacher' than the 35 yarders we see from Luke Young

[Banging_Them_In]

I would have liked to see the following in the same team: David Graham Tim Sills Okane Mark Koran Alex Russell Rodney Jack and Caldwell and that bloke bitten by the dog.....

----------------Southall-------------------

----Holmes - Lloyd - Elliott - Kelly--------

----Jack - Russell - Fowler - Loram---------

---------- Graham - Dobson -----------------

Subs – Veysey, Caldwell, M Holmes, Sharpe


Quite a few could have made it in, but these fine gentlemen that were once intrepid heroes steeped of the yellow and blue were who I thought of straight away.

Hee hee! You are absolutely right Tommo. How the hell did I do that? To much thinking about dodgy ankles and other old people stuff and I forgot about keeping an eye on my memory. Southall it is then. Not at his peak when he played for us, but what a career and what a character.

2.John Bond 4.John Benson 5.Reg Wyatt 3.Bill Kitchener

7.Dougie Clarke 6.John Smith 10.Tommy Mitchinson 11.Tony Scott

8.Tommy Spratt* 9.Robin Stubbs*

The above team is a combination of players from different seasons and eras.


*SAS (Spratt and Stubbs) were the goalscoring combo that fired us to promotion in the 65-66 season. Sadly, Tommy Spratt couldn't find his Division IV goalscoring form at Division III level.

Cannot fault your selection Trojan, awesome combination, would be unbeatable playing now. I would add Ken Brown, Jimmy Dunne and Jim Fryatt to the bench.

*SAS* (Spratt and Stubbs)

No subs were named because the players not in the starting XI are far better than bench warmers these include :

Goalkeeper John Connaughton (on loan from Manchester United 71-72 season) best taker of crosses I have ever seen.

Fullbacks Eric Burgess, Bobby Baxter

Central Defenders Alan Smith, Jimmy Dunne, Ken Brown, R*chard*Edwards

Winger Ronnie Barnes

Midfielders Alan Kirkham, John Reid, Mal Lucas

Strikers Jim Fryatt, Alan Welsh, Mickey Cave, Cliff Jackson

Best Utility player Clint Boulton.

All the above players played at some point during the Division III seasons of 1966-67 to 1971-72 inclusive.
