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 P. Shilton J.Dodd K.Monkou M.Wright F.Benali D.Wallace M.Le Tissier D.Armstrong T.Paine M.Channon S.Moran
Niemi Ostlund (only for the Jesus look) Monkou Wright Benali Cockerill Schneiderlin Ekelund Le Tissier Channon Pahars

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.
Flowers Golac Waldron Killer Dennis Williams Cockerill(before he broke his jaw, never the same player after) Ball MLT Keegan Moran Could have about 25 subs!
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.
-----------------------Niemi Ostlund-----Lundekvam-----Saeijs-----Bale Surman---Schneiderlin---Le Tissier---Skacel ----------------Pahars---Lambert
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.
01-13 (St Mary's XI) Niemi Telfer Fonte Svensson Bridge Lallana Hammond Schneiderlin Marsden Beattie Lambert
---------Bialkowski Murty---Mills---Powell---Skacel ----Redknapp---Hughes Licka----Kanchelskis--Boa Morte -----------Rosler This is my team of players who were much better elsewhere.
