Question Most non-descript Blues XI ever.

DTS

The Business
Right - Using Robins fantastic SUFC database plus my own grey matter I have assemebled a starting eleven of the most non descript players ever.

These are players that have made a decent number of games for the Blues yet never really seemed to either be loved or loathed by the fans.

GK - Steve Collis

RB - Darryl Sutch ( Sorry XXXXXL Wherever you are)
LB - Neil Jenkins
CB - Steve Broad
CB - Simon Coleman

RW - Jimmy Corbett
LW - Adrian Clarke
CM - Jonny Cornwall
CM - Leon Johnson

AT - Neil Tolson
AT - Alex Burns.

Now if you loved or hated any of the above then cut and paste my team takign out the player in question. However you have to replace them with a more non-descript / no feelings either way type player.

Hopefully by the end of this we will have a team of totally pointless players from the Blues history.
 
I always liked Steve Broad, but unforunately can't think of anyone to replace him.
 
Surprised at you including Jimmy Corbett in there, surely someone more suited to that position?
 
Neil Jenkins, Adrian Clarke, Ooh Johnny Cornwell....loved all 3 of these and would naver have them in this team. Can't think of 3 to go in tho.
 
GK - Danny Gay / Andy Woodman / Bart Griemink (choice here is endless)

RB - Osei Sankofa
LB - Neil Jenkins
CB - Dangerous Dave Morley
CB - Simon Coleman

RW - Jimmy Corbett
LW - Liam Feeney
CM - Danny Kerrigan
CM - Leon Johnson

AT - Ben Abbey
AT - Barrington Belgrave

Subs: Trevor Fitzpatrick, Neville Roach, Simon Livett, Dean Morgan and Zoltan Liptak.



Jeeeez - imagine paying money to watch that lot!
 
Johnny Cornwell, you can't have him he was a lege.

Do remember standing in the Paddocks once and Webby rushing down to the touchline screaming at JC, "Johnny, Johnny, ****ing tell Dave Martin to play properly!"

Still makes me smile even now!

I remember always liking Dangerous Dave - wasn't he constantly played as a striker because we had no one else - yet he never scored!! In fact I'm fairly sure the only goal I ever saw him score was against us for Macclesfield!

Where to start.....Did kind of say players that have played a bit for us which rules out Kerrigan and Feeney. Dont think many people didnt like Ben Abbey at the time - Seem to recall he had his own chant and everything, In comparisson I ****ing hate Sankofa as a player and he is certainly not non descipt to me. End of.

to add to that, i completely despised Morley. some of the worst defensive performances i've ever seen from a professional footballer.

Fair enough, my opinion on each of the guys I put up comes with a shrug of the shoulders and a resounding "Meh!"

Some players names lend themselves to chants. Even the "great" Yemi Abiodun had his own chant. Scared him to death the first time he heard it I recall.
