I wouldn't class any player old until they are over 35. On that basis the centre-back pairing should be Chris Turner and Spencer Prior (was he 35?)

yeah I tried to do that, but only had about 6 players. Prior was 35.

Jimmy McAlinden, for right midfield,he was one of the Blues finest.

Did you see him play?

Can I point you in the direction of the battle of the Southend legends

Would love to hear some stories about him

Maybe Clark over Edwards then. I didnt realise Crowny was so old - OK he takes Rammell's place.

Any midfielders?

peter butler was the best midfielder we have ever had.

Oh yes Yorkshire Blue! I saw Jimmy Mac play from his blues debut to his last game. What a fantastic right wing trio we had then. Jimmy inside right ,Joe Sibley on the wing and Jack French right half. He was a bundle of tricks with his dribbling, his flicks and his favourite trick was to run at the opposition defence with the ball, stop the ball dead but keep running towards the defenders, leaving the ball to be picked up by joe or jack. It was a trick that fooled the opposition every time.

Two things wrong with that.

1. He wasn't old when he played for us (his birthday is tomorrow, as he shares it with me)

2. He was cr&p (couldn't pass, tackle, shoot or cross)

I thought the clue was in the title and the fact I picked Micky Gooding. :)

That's what I thought... it was some of the responses that threw me (Rammell for instance)

First game i went to 1967 we had a winger called John McKinen what a player looked about 45 with his brylcream hair. Had a pair of boots that were steel toe capped and nailed studs boots that looked like they were 50 years old but what a player, never the same after breaking his leg at a home match. My dads legend

Was going to mention him. Also Tony Bentley who played Right Back (no.2) at the same time.

Martin Robinson, a great sub for this team, would always come on and score.
