Ok I have no doubt that this has probably done before, but as I haven't seen it done since I've been a member I thought I would create one. Basically the rules are that you have to state the first season you became a Gills fan (or not if you are embarrassed about it) and put together the best players you have seen in a Gills shirt since you've been going. As the football league currently has 7 substitues you are allowed up 7 subs if you so wish.
So I became a Gills fan in January 2003 and unfortunately missed out some great Gills players (Yeo, Cascarino, Bruce etc) so this is my ultimate XI from the time I've been a Gills fan.
GK: Simon Royce (Just snuck in above Jason Brown for me. Gazza would be 3rd)
RB: Nyron Nosworthy (Not much choice for me. Barry Fuller would be 2nd)
CB: Chris Hope (Obvious reasons.)
CB: Simon King (For me the best defender I've seen at the club.)
LB: John Hills (Bit controversial but I enjoyed watching him at left back)
RM: Nicky Southall (Right foot better than Beckham
Whelpdale with a couple more seasons will get in there)
CM: Andy Hessenthaler (Self explanatory really. Jackman deserves a shout out too)
LM: Matt Jarvis (Quality winger that got us all off our feet when he had the ball)
CAM: Paul Shaw (Showed he was an extra threat for us when we were lacking up top)
ST:Simeon Jackson (Prolific goalscorer for us and happily put him in)
ST:Cody McDonald (Again for his attacking threat)
Subs:
GK: Jason Brown (Just sneaks above Paulo for me)
CB: Barry Ashby (Self explanatory)
LB/CDM: Danny Jackman (beautiful left foot and was top class in his first stint too)
CM/CAM: Andrew Crofts (Had really good spells for us and his commitment until near the end was spot on)
LW/LM: Andy Barcham (His speed and ability to tear up defences deserves a place on the bench)
ST: Mamady Sidibe (Great target man. Scored the equaliser in my first ever match against Leeds in the FA Cup)
ST: Darius Henderson/Darren Byfield (couldn't decide between as they both offered something different. I enjoyed watching both of them though)
Well thats my team, think it could do a decent job in the Championship if were altogether on form, but what are other peoples opinions and teams?
