I really struggled on that one actually Fats. Barry Horne almost got in for the goal against Oldham. Chris Marsden was in contention....actually I kinda love Big Vic so he wouldn't have been too far from the reckoning either.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...all-club-matt-le-tissier-picks-his-one2eleven Here's MLT's best 11 that he's played with. Not a bad team. The only problem is it doesn't include him.
Matty's favourite team involving the guys he played with [4-4-2]: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...all-club-matt-le-tissier-picks-his-one2eleven Tim Flowers Jeff Kenna.....Dean Richards.....Mark Wright.....Derek Statham Danny Wallace.....Jimmy Case.....Ronnie Eklund.....Rod Wallace Alan Shearer.....Marian Pahars To be fair, that's a pretty damn good team. Franny will be a bit peeved. As will Razor, I'd imagine. And Doddsy too. In fact. I suspect quite a few will get a slight case of the 'umps. Oh, and while looking for the SKY video which inspired the post, I found this 1996 interview: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...derstanding-the-monday-interview-1314772.html Oops..! I'm late to the party. Oh well, I'll leave it as the line up is there to see.
Flowers Golac, Wright, Claus, Dennis , Le Tiss , Williams , Hurlock , Marsden Worthington , Pahars Subs: Forster , Svennsson , Bridge , Morgan ,Danny Wallace , Ekelund and Lambert I would love to see that team play !
I'm going to forgive youTSS, for finding such a fabulous interview. I found myself feeling proud, happy, angry and sad whilst reading that. I always liked Terry Venables but could never understand him not playing Le God. Interesting comment from Ron Atkinson and Andy Gray's comments. Glad Gray has disappeared into the wilderness for being a sexist twat. I had never heard that bit before. Hey Mr Gray - that Gary Neville makes you look like an amateur.
I have 2 thoughts about all these best elevens....how would the style of some of these players fit in with the modern game and how would the players from the past play under modern training conditions. I am a believer that if you were a great player in the 40s, 50, and 60s, you would be a great player now, but you wouldn't be the same because you would have undergone a modern training and fitness regimen. However, I'm not so sure about how well players would do if they relied not on great skill, but on spirit and strength.

Interesting thoughts. My own thoughts are that the emphasis in football has gone from strength and spirit to skill and speed. If one takes those players who had those latter attributes from the past they would almost certainly be even better today. And how about the number of players who didn't make it because they didn't have enough of those former attributes..? One can be born into the wrong era. Why has the emphasis changed..? For my money it has been the quality of first class pitches worldwide. It has helped to dramatically change the game.
Flowers Dodd--- Kenneth----Claus----Benali ----Schneider----Hurlock-------- D Wallace Le God Eklund Shearer------Pahars Bench- neimi, svenson, clyne, shipperly, berkovic, Oakley, beatts. Ive gone for modern formation with players ive seen since 1989.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...m-Lallana-Wayne-Bridge-make-cut-features.html This is the Mail's team but only from the Premier League era. Can't help not liking Lallana being there - surely there is someone else?
Boruc Clyne, Fonte, Hooiveld (championship season), Bertrand Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Hammond Lallana Rodriguez, Lambert
