Best XI to have made their debut for Blues

[banjo saviola]

Hi,
Just a little thing I do with my mates and the respective teams they support. My Spurs mates struggled to put a decent team together fwiw...

Let me know if any of these are wrong....or there's a better option..?

GK Dan Bentley
RB Dean Austin
CB Spencer Prior
CB Kyprianou
LB Justin Edinburgh
RM Michael Kightly
CM Dru Yearwood
CM Steve Tilson
LM Peter Taylor
CF Freddy Eastwood
CF Gary Hooper

Would Austin, Eastwood and Hooper count as they made their senior debut for St Albans and Grays?

As they weren't league teams I didn't count them....

Probably go for Andy Edwards over Harry Kyprianou at CB. Strong team all things considered though.

Bobby Kellard
would be an absolute must in midfield.Based on achievement to date,in place of Yearwood,based on ability,in place of Tilson.
Yes,Edwards for Kyp.

Glen Pennyfather and Gary Nelson and what about Clarky?

[Napster]

if we're talking league debuts only:

Alf Smirk
Sandy Anderson
Kevin Maher
Darryl Flahavan
Simon Royce
Tony Hadley
Jimmy Evans


not sure about Jimmy Shankley and Emlyn Jones

 

[Napster]

More

Ken Jones

Did Stan play any league games for Palace??

EDIT: 20 times apparently... wow!

I know ...... and yet they still didn't realise what a talent they had on their hands. It takes some believing that. After only a few minutes at Roots Hall we knew Colin Murphy had suddenly pulled of quite a coup (as in triumph that is - not chickens )

 

[Firestorm]

didn't Bill Garner make his league debut for us ?

 

[Napster]

didn't Bill Garner make his league debut for us ?

No - 2 games for Notts County a few years before us.

Yes—quite a few interesting ADDITIONAL l suggestions have come in.
Even I never saw Shankley,Smirk,Evans or Emlyn Jones,so best eleven is looking like this:

ROYCE
Austin
EDWARDS
Prior
ANDERSON

Kightly
Yearwood/Tilson
KELLARD

Eastwood
Hooper
Taylor

Thats what I was thinking when I checked this morning. How did anyone at Palace not realise what they had? I know Wright/Bright were in front of him, but jeez... walks into our side and is instantly a superstar and as you say, was so clear he had all the tools already at that age.
