As a kid I remember Arthur Graham, Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen and Trevor Cherry being my favourite four. I'm not saying they were the best, just names that stuck in my head.

Radebe in at CB and Strachan at 7 for me, my favourite LB was Dorigo and RB Sterland.

 

Radebe, Dorigo and Sterland in for now.
Arthur Graham possibly?
Think Jordan is down the pecking order given the strikers we have had ...Chapman and jimmy floyd piggybank would be in the mix.

Mcqueen? I included Kewell... How many traitorous bastards can one team have?

 

we need a centre half. Big jack / mcQueen... Which one?

 

John Charles and Clarke up front

 

May you rename the thread as.....Your best Leeds Utd eleven but not including Revies team.....

 

Ok.

 

Revies team is not excluded.. Whilst they might have been the best team I am suggesting they may not be the best players.

We have a team now. Feel free to tinker...
It would cost a few quid to assemble at todays prices.

 

Gary Kelly was better then Shetland, tho Zico does have a more cult following

 

We have never played a pony at right back. But have had plenty of cart horses in various positions.

 

not sure arthur graham belongs in this team.

 

Totally agree about mel Sterland,fast with pin point accurate crosses,usually finding lee chapmans head,so many goals scored that way.Sadly career finished way to short due to a bad injury

 

Come to think of it what about Lee Chapman,very deadly finisher in and around the six yard area,hopeless further out,but can't think of anyone at the moment who was a more clinical finisher.

 

Jeez in the past we have had some great football legends,which any football fan would recognise the name.(pity we havn't got any now)

 

Let the debates begin.
There is a case for inclusion..

 

Who would be captain. I would prefer not to let the players decide.

 

Sterland was much better than Kelly, I think so anyway.

Captain Billy or Strachan a very tough one.

Chapman I could never take too, for me Hasselbaink, Yeboah, Charles, Clarke, Lorimer and Viduka are all miles ahead of Chapman, he wouldn't even make my reserve team.

 

Whilst looking for reminders I found this footage. We lost but three points.
1) How badly we defended
2) Their second goal, watch our defender nearly take the guy heading the balls head off, how close was that (slow mo replay shows it better)
3) The ref blowing the final whistle, looks like someone's grandad

 

Oddly enough the worst game I saw big john play was at wing half

 

Brilliant
