we've had a few who have looked decent and gone on to have good careers, prior to 89 we had David Burrows also Danny Gabbidon was ok, we always sold too early.

                                          1 Miller

2 Burgess       5 Mardon          6 Evans        3 Robinson

7 Koren           8 Dorrans          4 Gera         11 Kilbane

                         9 Taylor              10 Hunt


Subs: Foster, Raven, McAuley, Ashcroft, Morrison, Phillips, Pesch.

I long for the days of Taylor and Hunt. Could be because I want my childhood back, but those two were incredible. Good, honest footballers.

Although the standard of football has generally improved since the 90s, I can't help feeling the matches were more entertaining then. Maybe a case of rose tinted glasses, but I have defo been to a lot of dull games in the PL era. Escaping relegation to div 2, then the climb up the table, then promotion. So exciting back then.

At times now it does feel as though we're only playing because we're contractually obliged to.

always amazes me how few supporters select Richard Sneekes in these teams. if I hadn't got the players of the 70s & 80s to choose from he would be in my fav 11.

Personal choice mate. Big fan of both, for me Johnston edges out Clark, and Ray Barlow was better than Bobby.
