Tony Morley was my absolute favourite player as a 6/7/8 year old but think I may have only seen him a couple of times live as only went to a handful of games in 1982 and 1983, hence him not being in my squad. Definetely saw Withe a lot in mid 80s. Leaving Mark Walters out was a hard one for me as I idolized him as a kid, also toss up between Townsend and Ian Taylor on the bench, went with my claret and blue glasses. Also, not the best player so not in my squad, but I loved the sheer aggression of Garry Thompson in tgecrelegation and promotion side in the late 80s. Ashley Young and James Milner were tough ones to leave out as well. Grealish has it all but only done for two half seasons so far, hence on the bench for me.
I always thought Colin Gibson was better when he was moved into midfield. It might be harsh given he won the League and European Cup but I would put Gidman, Swain, Gage, Price and Barrett ahead of Gary Williams.
