Best Ever Team

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Im an old fart in comparison,since 1966.
                             Rimmer

Gidman         Evans          McGrath         Aitkin

           Merson          Cowans        Mortimer

            Little               Gray              Morley

If I may have 7 subs as its present day:-
Withers,Withe,McNaught,Carrodus,Staunton,Shaw,Milner      

Manager:Martin ONeill(yes i do think he is our best ever!)

And as this is complete fantasy,im allowed to convert the whole of the holte end,lower witton,lower trinity and lower north stand into terracing,thus allowing the 70,000 to get in who would want to watch them every week.

A few of those are just a fraction before my time, but I do like the look of that side. Has a bit of everything. Attacking fullback (Gidman) before they were in vogue. Targetman (Gray). Midfield lynchpin (Mortimer). Second or 'link' striker (Little).
Would you not have Mortimer in the middle and Cowans on the left though? Mortimer as the midfield powerhouse bombing through the centre, with Sid linking up with Morley et.c.

Good thinking. Im appointing you assistant manager.

Jesus, this is really difficult. I could give you 4 or 5 teams and still not be sure which one I thought was best!

Far too much Milner. He's still a lot to prove before being put alongside Platt, Cowans, Mortimer...even Taylor or Townsend.
