    I don't think we've had this one before, we've had 'best' but not 'favourite' which is an entirely different thing. I'll kick off:

    Davis

    Golac Lundekvam Waldron Benali

    Paine Le Tissier Holmes Marsden

    Channon Davies

    Actually, very hard to choose. I could easily have a reserve team, and a C team etc etc.

    Difficult for me being only a youngun, but here goes, with players crammed awkwardly out of position:

    Niemi

    Dodd Killer Lundekvam Benali

    Le Tissier Schneiderlin Marsden

    Pahars Lambert Waigo

    So, this is my favourite, rather than best team

    Ouch, that's hard and as LFF says, I may end up with a B, C and a D team. Here goes my first effort:

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ian Turner _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    Peter Rodrigues _ _ _ Mark Wright _ _ _ Reuben Agboola _ _ _ Mark Dennis

    _ _ _ _Alan Ball _ _ _ Steve Williams _ _ _ David Armstrong

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Matt Le Tissier _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Kevin Keegan _ _ _ _ _ _ Mick Channon _ _ _ _


    That's off the top of my head and I know I've missed loads of favourites out, but there we go.

    See! I posted quickly and immediately looked in detail at other selections and then see Nick Holmes... always a favourite and unsung heroe who I wish was on the coaching staff and then ended upstairs at the club. Another Mr Southampton

    Its an impossible task really. Believe it or not I'd forgotten the Wallaces! Still remember the interview with Danny and Lawrie on MotD after his debut at Old Trafford.

    I didn't forget the wallaces, but left them out. I never felt Rod should have gone when he did, and although Danny was right in the heart of my core younger years watching Saints, he used to frustrate me that if there wasn't 7,000 people stood on the terraces at The Archers End, he'd be half to Hill College by the time he realized he should have crossed the ball.

    Ha. Just to hijack my own thread, I worked at Hill College for a year. Looked after the 2nd team.

    as this was a favourite team, rather than best team, I almost included George Lawrence. I was touch and go between David Armstrong and Glenn Cockerill . Danny Wallace and Steve Moran were my favourite players as a kid so were 'must haves'

    If there is anyone out there with a bit of time on their hands, it would be interesting at some point to compile a NOT 606 all time favourite team. Already, no one has been in every selection.

    Forecast

    Draper -- Thomas -- Van Gobbel -- Van Damme

    Bleidelis -- Quashie -- Chala

    Johansen -- Delgado -- Bignall

    If we had this team now we would be a top 4 team easily. It's a real shame we don't have any of them now.
