Thread: Your Clubs All-Time XI

So what with my lot having nothing to look forward to this season apart from a relegation dogfight (and i'm using the word dogfight very liberally ), i was thinking about some of the greats that have played at UP.

So wots your clubs greatest eleven?

A few rules:

All your team must have played in your lifetime - whatsmore your football watching lifetime. So all you Mancs - no Georgie Best, Dennis Law etc unless you are old enough to have seen them play. Hence no Bobby Moore in my team.

You must have a player for every position - right back, left back etc - and a real formation - no filling your midfield with central attacking boys.

All your players must have been with your club as a player for at least 2 years - no one season wonders.

Your team can be edited at a later date. Its unlikely that you'll remember every great player you've had straight off.

Note to selwyn - for the sake of this thread you are not 73 years ol - you're in your 30's.

All that said, here's mine:

No Scholes The way your lot bang on about him i would of thought he would be in a United's Team of the century.

mmmm this is a tricky one

1 Ray Clemence
2 Jamie Carragher
3 Phil Neal
4 Tommy Smith
5 Alan Hansen
6 Emlyn Hughes
7 King Kenny
8 Steven Gerrard
9 Nando Torres
10 Ian rush
11 John Barnes

i reckon that lot would give any team in history a hell of a game

I would have to have Fowler in my Eleven

see, fux's team is more what i'd have in mind for your lot - showing your age oothe.

Tho one questiion: r u playing "Crazy Horse" Hughes on the left?

nah man, i wouls have barnes on the left ... crazy horse and stevie g in the middle

i would liked fowler, but i had to choose between him, owen and rush ... rushie got my vote, but either of the three would still be a great option

GK Ray Clemence

LB Gareth Bale
CB Gary Mabbut
CB Graham Roberts
RB Steven Carr

LM Chris Waddle
CM Paul Gascoigne
CM Glenn Hoddle
RM Darren Anderton

F Gary Lineker
F Teddy Sherigham

Klinsman, Ginola, Villa and Ardiles on the bench, what a team!
