Not if he only gets 2, hence I voted for the curly haired type. :sherlock:

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

I haven't got a Scooby who any of the E midfield are, can anybody enlighten me?

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Craig Edwards was a youthie who made one league sub appearance and one LDV start, Welshman Tommy Edwards played 13 times in 1948 scoring once (ask :cricko: what he was like as a player). Eddie Clayton was actually a forward and is much championed by canveyshrimper and played 83 times (scoring 18) during the late 60s and Dave Elliott was a defensive midfielder who played nearly 200 in the early 70s

Eddie Clayton spent most of his career at Tottenham and was on the fringes of their great Double winning side of 1960/61. I'm guessing that he could have had a long career in the top flight with another club, but he stayed at Spurs and came to Roots Hall when he was past 30. Quite simply he is one of the best passers of a football I've ever seen in a Blues shirt, he rarely wasted the ball. In the goal laden season of 1968/69 he played alongside Phil Chisnall & Chico Hamilton and provide the ammunition for the prolific Billy Best & Gary Moore. Clayton weighed in with goals himself along with Hamilton, Chisnall & Sammy MacMillan. I'd have to find a spot for him in an all time Blues XI.

Dave Elliott IIRC (eith out recourse to sufcdb) signed for us from Newcastle, a blonde central midfielde who also captained the side for a long time. He moved from Roots Hall to take over as player manager at Newport County.

He also played for Italy 3 times and is in the Spurs all time hall of fame.

canveyshrimper ?? does ldnfatso know this ??

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Thanks for the info chaps :thumbsup:

The fact Elliot & Clayton are highly regarded strengthens the E team's position somewhat from first glance, especially with Firmani & Eastwood up top. And Edinburgh, Sodje & Edwards make a decent defensive core. Once again Pubey's P team will be incredibly difficult to break down but may lack somewhat on the goal front. If Clayton is half as good as you suggest he could provide for Eastwood & Eddie. Another tough call.

But the E team does have Eric Steele in goal! :thumbdown:

Doubt it. I think :cricko: means Eddie Firmani.

While Steele like Neville Southall was crap with us, he had a decent career elsewhere. I think he won 5 promotions with different clubs in his career.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

You know what's swung it for me? Shut down Peter Taylor and you shut down the P's supply. Undercovershrimper's deployment of defensive midfielder Elliot on his right flank does exactly this. Eastwood wonder strike wins it.

Thats as maybe H, but this comp is in regard to being a Shrimper legend, not how they performed elsewhere and Steele for us was on a par with Earl Cumbersome IMO
