Dean must be very proud to be in charge during this run.
Best run since 1975 could become best run since 1910 on Friday afternoon.
Anyone here on H&V who saw that 1910 run and could compare to the current squad? 😉
My memory is a little hazy but let me have a go:
1.Arthur Cartlidge. GK Sorry but none of our half a dozen keepers come even close.
2.Tommy Lyons Superb right back. Elmo/Cafu can touch him
3.Freddie Miles sweet foot left back even Chalie Atkin doesn't come close. Taylor is an amatuer
5.George Hunter versatile defender. A bit like Jedinaik but with speed and mobility
6.Chris Buckley Paul McGrath of his day. Can't see anyone in current team equal to that man.
4.George Trantor Strong forthright midfielder. When he tackled you stayed tackled. No one in current team to match up to this man.
7.Albert Hall A marauding attacker from midfield. Only Dennis comes close to him but no one in this team.
8.Bill Gerrish Superb midfielder but I suppose Jack could tie his shoelaces.
10.George Bache Best number 10. We don't have an equal in this team. Weighed in with 22 goal.
9.Harry Hampton Goal machine. Possible the best centre forward till Pongo came along. 29 goals
11.Charlie Wallace England's Winger of choice. Ripped defences apart that season. Adomah/Green are pedestrians compared to this man.
Team played a changeable formation . Mostly 433 but reverting to 442 when necessary.
So my conclusion is that this present team is ok but no where near those 1910 boys.
