Hi All just back from my Montreal trip and although a bit jet lagged I am ready to continue with the all time WFC Dream Team. The centre back pairing went to John McClelland & Ian Bolton, JM was the clear winner but IB was a fair way clear of third! So far we have: GK: TC RB: Nigel Gibbs LB: Robbo CB: J Mac CB: Ian Bolton So we move onto the Left Midfield spot, the candidates so far are: John Barnes Ashley Young Adam johnson Hameur Bouazza Glyn Hodges Peter Kennedy Joni McAnuff A few questions for you: 1/ Do you want Ashley Young in the right midfield spot or left? 2/ was Stewart Scullion a left or Right midfielder? 3/ Anyone missing that should be on the list? Poll to follow once we get a full list of candidates (I am sure all the older Horns will have a few candidates from days gone by)
Ashley Young should be on the right side - but in our dream team, he can wander where he likes! Stewart Scullion was a right winger - in fact right out on the touchline.......... Please don't forget Gary Porter as one of our best LM; in a succession of poor teams he often stood out. Kenny Jackett started off life as a LB but played most of his best games for the club as a LM.
It's a sad indictment of our left-sided players over the years if Bouazza and McAnuff feature in a shortlist. I'd go for Barnes, obviously.
BB - You know Superman has Ross Jenkins pyjamas. He can play anywhere. (Ross, not superman) Which one I hear you ask - well it seems Ross has offspring also called Ross.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think these days Vic a left winger is classified as left midfield! Since people invented 451, which in my opinion is 433 , but now since diamond formations and the like have come about a winger is a midfielder for some strange reason!

Going to add in Gary Porter and Kenny Jackett and I will put Ashley young into the right midfield spot as well! Will prob take out hammer time or mcaduff tho!
Too young to see him play but surely there is no contest between barnes and bouazza!!! Barnes easily gets this
Can we clarify, by Left Midfield you mean WIDE left. Left midfield is one of the central 2 in a midfield 4, where Callaghan and Barnes were wide. If its left winger you're after, there really only is one - John Barnes. PS : if you can have Joni McAnuff, can I have Jobi Mitchell ........ oh no SHE was a singer!
Have to agree BB, I never had the pleasure of watching him terrorise defences in our colours (I was a late developer to WFC 89-90)
Our club is 130 years old and on the list is a winger who play for about a month with us???? Has to be Barnes, no one else comes close!
