I've been a Ciy fan for around 4-5 years or so (I took me until around 2005 before I heard about Hull for the first time actually) Anyway! I have got many great memories just during this period, and down below you can find my All Star-Team for the period 2007-2012. All players have been picked based on their top level and it's personal choices, so don't cry! It was impossible (more or less) for me to watch any games from the legendary 2007-2008-season, which may effect some picks. Basso Rosenior, Turner, Chester, Ricketts (Not sure of Sam, but hey, good option going forward) Geovanni, Koren, McKenna, Stewart (Really not sure of McKenna, Ashbee in his prime is ofc an option) Fryatt, King Might be better with 4-5-1 and another defence minded central midfielder though, considering the attacking minded midfield otherwise. Bench Myhill, Ayala, Dawson, Mendy (Mostly because he can cover both defence/midfield wing, and had some class when he wanted to), Bullard (yes, he's a ****, but he can play ball), Ashbee, Campbell 1: How good is the above team? 2: How right/wrong am I?
Based on their peak you've got to have Deano and Campbell up front. I like your defence though. Over the same period I'd go for. Mannone Rosenior, Turner, Chester, Ricketts Stewart, Ashbee, Koren, Elliott Campbell, Deano Subs: Myhill, Hobbs, Dudgeon, McKenna, Marney (07-08), Garcia (07/08), King There are players like JVoH, Altidore, Bullard etc. who were good players but never really filled their potential with us or the team was doing too poorly at the time to remember them that fondly. I've gone for players from successful teams hence the several 07/08 inclusions and current defenders.
Well, that's embarrasing, forgot about Deano. Not very happy with Fryatt at the top at the same time, but he's good...when he's good.
Happy New Year Febbos, not seen you on here for a while. My favourite City eleven, based on just the players I have seen would be: 1.Tony Norman 2.Rosy. 3.Jobbo. 4.Turner. 5. Daws 6.Stewart. 7.Parker. 8. Windass. 9. Okocha 10. Payton. 11. Campbell
Hi there Nick! I am lurking in the shadows mostly. Haven't have the "energy" to bother with the slight derails on here lately How come you have Deano as Central Midfield btw? And who is Jobbo?
Deano slightly out of position admittedly! Jobbo is Richard Jobson, the classiest defender City have ever had, he made England squads after he left us but as far as I know only ever won a 'B' cap
Hard to pick but here goes - Norman Rosenior Jobson Turner Dawson Marwood Ash Parker Elliott Edwards Deano Subs - Myhill Barmby Payton Whitehurst Dyer Brabin Whittle
Looking at DJ's team think it would be a close call for me between Elliott and Campbell, just think Elliott never did it at Championship level arguably apart from that QPR game puts me off him, and even then think he might have been a sub that game but might be wrong on that
I was going to mention his PFA credentials, also not the first Tiger to follow this path, I think Brian Marwood was similar?
If we're talking 2005 onwards only I'm surprised Stephen Hunt's name hasn't come up. Definitely in my starting XI. Will think of the other 10 now!
Totally forgot about Hunt! On the bench instead of Mendy. Edit: Or probably instead of Geo, who takes Mendy's spot.
Stephen Hunt was great for us (unless you ask our TWS fan TWF), Henrik Pederson also worthy of a mention I think here as did great things in his few appearances in the promo season
Myhill, Rosenior, Turner, Chester, Dawson, Barmby, Ashbee, Koren, Elliott, Windass, Burgess. Musslewhite, Whittle, Boateng, Stewart, Allsopp Some hard choices, not easy making this team! Missing out the likes of Delaney, Hunt, Mouyokolo, Geo, Parkin, Brabin, Eyre, John Anderson, Ryan France.
Tony Norman L. Rosenior – M. Turner – J. Chester – A. Dawson B. Marwood - G. Roberts – R. Koren – S. Elliot K. Wagstaff – S. Pearson
from what I've seen in my lifetime.. as a 4-4-2 Norman Rosenior Turner Chester Dyer Stewart Ashbee Geovanni Hunt Windass Payton subs: Mannone, Gerrard, Dawson, Barmby, Elliot, Koren, Whitehurst
Campbell Vennegoor of Hessleink Elliott Ashbee Green Garcia Dawson Turner Delaney Ricketts Myhill I do realise on the face of it seems ridiculous.
