Favourite all-time Saints team

I'll be another one showing their age, but watching your team between the ages of, say, 10-14 was more fun then when you're an adult. Anyway, here goes:-
Gurr
Peach McGrath Gabriel Benali
Holmes Williams Armstrong
Le Tissier
Channon Davies

Ask me again tomorrow, and it'll probably be different.

Flowers

Pahars Lambert

 

It would be interesting for someone on here with a bit of time to run through all selections and produce a favourite of favourites in each position....

 

Let's wait until we've done the Opposition team otherwise There will be too many polls going on!

 

......and 'Docker' Walker.

 

I will not accept that Jermaine Wright was good or bad enough to play two positions ...

 

Here's the best ever and second best ever team, as selected by TSW members, back in early 2009. There was a bit of confusion between best ever and favourite, by several members, if I remember correctly. I know because I reminded them each time they nominated/voted, and still some extremely odd nominations/votes came in. Nevertheless, these teams are pretty good ones. There was always some contention that the second best team would beat the best one more often than the other way round. By the way, UP means Utility Player:

5 of mine in team A. Of course some 'favourites' will always be quirky and personal to the individual.

 

5 of mine too. I seem to be the only one who picked Ian Turner as a favourite (not best). I watched highlights from 76 recently and it's easy to forget how many saves he made in that game. That's why he gets the nod.

 

Funnily enough, I watched the after match interviews yesterday.. I'm afraid to say, not the brightest bunch bless 'em!
