Best XI of players with more than one spell

[Napster]

OK, we've had a few players who have gone off and returned and played for a club or 2 in the interim - I've made a stab at an xi. Alternatives welcome!

1. Mervyn Cawston
2. John White
3. Paul Roberts
4. Paul Clark
5. Andy Edwards
6. Spencer Prior
7. Lee Sawyer
8. Alan McCormack
9. Freddy Eastwood
10. Roy McDonough
11. Mike Beesley

Manager: David Webb

More of a 5-3-2

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Oh - spell - as in length of time not as in Harry Potter. :unsure:

Gary Bennett could be on the subs bench.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Did Gary Nelson have two spells at the club?

 

[Agent Lomas]

Barnard too!

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Can we add Franck Moussa to the list ......... just hoping that might come true when we are back in the 2nd Division.

 

[Napster]

Barnard too!

Not as good as Donut or Freddy...

 

[Napster]

Gary Bennett and Garry Nelson only had one spell at the club.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Harry Lane 1933/8 & 1946/9

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Hal Robson-Kanu?

Lee Nogan and Mel Capelton for the bench as well.

 

[Napster]

Harry Lane 1933/8 & 1946/9

Good call. Just seen his record which was decent, so might move Donut to the bench.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Matt Lockwood and Brettie Angell.....

 

[Norwichshrimper]

a) Does Darryl count...he sort of left and came back
b) There must be someone better than Lee Sawyer in midfield

 

[Napster]

Hal Robson-Kanu?

Lee Nogan and Mel Capelton for the bench as well.

Robson-Kanu just renewed his loan so I wouldnt include him. Nogan's a good shout - 7 years between appearances.

Capleton less so. He didn't actually play a senior game in his first spell for the club.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Mark Beard - though neither spell was actually any good!

 

[Napster]

a) Does Darryl count...he sort of left and came back
b) There must be someone better than Lee Sawyer in midfield

a) no, he never played for anyone else in between.

 

[Napster]

Mark Beard - though neither spell was actually any good!

haha Beardo or Asbo Sawyer. Both nutcases.

 

[RobM]

Paul Roberts....shudder! Jim Stannard in goal maybe.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Robson-Kanu just renewed his loan so I wouldnt include him. Nogan's a good shout - 7 years between appearances.

Capleton less so. He didn't actually play a senior game in his first spell for the club.

How does Capelton not fit your criteria (other than, arguably, best)?

Robson-Kanu's loans were in different seasons!

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Steve Tilson (played for Canvey for a few years before making a couple of appearances as a player again with Southend)
Michael Timlin
Dominic Iorfa!

Capleton never played in his first spell which rather makes it academic
R-K, yes, end of one, beginning of another. No playing for anyone else in the interim. So it was more like one long loan.

:winking:
