Ex-Shrimpers Challenge.. letter A

[Beefy]

Right, I've had 24 hours and I'm still completely stumped, at least in a couple of key positions, so I'm throwing it open to the board for some help.

Here's what I've got so far:

Adam Federici

Dean Austin - Alan Moody - Adam Barrett - Sandy Anderson

Andy Ansah - Alan McCormack - ???????? - Anton Otulakowski

Brett Angell - Albert Wakefield
​

I genuinely can't think of a second central midfielder, plus I'm not 100% on either Austin or Wakefield (although Albert seems far more qualified for the spot than the likes of Rammell/Thomson/Abbey/Revell do).

Any help finalising the team would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Napster]

Wasn't Alan Little a decent centre-mid?

 

[Beefy]

Good shout, that. Any more?

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I thought Sandy Anderson was a RB Beefy, but i could be mistaken

 

[Beefy]

I always thought he was a left back, but he was well before my time. That complicates things.

I'm claiming him as a 'double A' by the way, as I believe that his real name was Alex Anderson.

Born Alexander yes, but Sandy to all and sundry so i'm not sure you'll get away with that one, and being honest if this is going to a poll vote i don't see how the AA will work

Well, yes, the double AA won't make any difference as he already has Andy Ansah, and the double up means he would win a tie.

However, I have to use Chico Hamilton's real name otherwise I won't have a team at all.....

Yes he was a left back. Arthur Williamson was the right back who played three times as many games as Dean Austin with much distinction. Alexander Anderson (from Auchtermuchty) filled in at right back on some of those rare occasions when Williamson was injured.

Andy Sussex centre mid?

Can't understand how you missed Adam Bouzid

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Yes he was a left back. Arthur Williamson was the right back who played three times as many games as Dean Austin with much distinction. Alexander Anderson (from Auchtermuchty) filled in at right back on some of those rare occasions when Williamson was injured.

Cheers Mick for clearing that up .. though i also thought Williamson was a left back so perhaps i should just shut up :blush:

 

[Beefy]

Cheers Mick.

Can't believe I forgot Bouzid.... might as well stop this whole game now!

 

[BrettieAngell]

Andy Sussex centre mid?

*cough cough*

Even if only for THAT goal against Luton!

 

[Beefy]

I've got Sussex under consideration! Thanks.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Arnau Riera? :hilarious:

 

[Rob Noxious]

Wasn't Alan Little a decent centre-mid?

He was a right hard case!

 

[canveyshrimper]

Wasn't Alan Little a decent centre-mid?

He was, but he was so bandy legged he couldn't stop a pig in a passage.
IMO Brian Albeson was better than Barrett.

Andy Smillie for midfield or up front.

 

[Beefy]

It's Barrett + 1 at the back, for better or worse, I'm afraid.

 

[Rob Noxious]

It's Barrett + 1 at the back, for better or worse, I'm afraid.

Adrian Burrows - on loan from Plymouth immediately after the Dick Bate debacle, disaster and despair. Burrows was an excellent central defender and played in the Littlewoods games against Derby if I recall correctly in the month or so that he was with us from late September-October '87.

 

[Beefy]

Quick gents, Little or Sussex for the final midfield spot?
