Our local rivals-not a quiz but needing some thought !

I've compiled a team of Blues' players who have also played for both Col.U. and Orient,with 11 players in a very attacking 3-3-4 line-up.There's just one player from back in the 60's but the other 10 are from circa 1990 onwards-all answers welcome!

 

[Zeuss]

Ok,I'll help you with a very easy one to start off with- (like me) he's a right-back,still playing,not much hair.

 

[manor15]

Sean Clohessy, David Mooney, Jabo Ibehre, harder than it seems!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Luke Guttridge. Dean Morgan. Matt Lockwood. Charlie MacDonald. Jack Pridmore. Dave Martin. Mark Warren. Malcolm Slater.

 

[Blueronron]

Sir Adam Barrett, Mel Capleton

 

[Firestorm]

Jamal Campbell Ryce

Sir Adam Barrett, Mel Capleton

neither of these have played for the scum !

 

[Zeuss]

Luke Guttridge. Dean Morgan. Matt Lockwood. Charlie MacDonald. Jack Pridmore. Dave Martin. Mark Warren. Malcolm Slater.

Never even heard of Pridmore,wasn't including Matthew(a former pupil of mine) as he never played in our first team,so with the 3 from the first reply + J C R added below that only leaves one position to be filled!

Paul Newell
Owen Simpson

Owen Simpson

Yes!Well done everybody!I'd gone back in time to get Malcolm Slater and overlooked Owen Simpson-he wasn't very good but means it can be a 4-3-3 formation :Newell /Clohessy,Martin,Warren,Simpson / Slater,Guttridge,JCR /Jabo,Mooney,Morgan. Sub:McDonald.

 

[Liam AAS]

White, Wordsworth, Coker, Pat Baldwin, Chris Barker all played for Col U IIRC

I remember one evening at their place when it looked like Barrett was playing for Colchester.

He said Colchester AND Orient.

Whatever you do, don't play Mooney as a lone striker. It doesn't work.

to be fair, that team looks awful - keeper poor, defence inconsistent, midfield lightweight and attack toothless.

Yes, I think you're right. I think playing for those other two **** clubs, ruined them.

 

[shrimp in orbit]

Not a great team! Only JCR that I really would be happy to have with us now.
I always had a soft spot for Owen Simpson for some reason, a real trier

Yes, fair enough, we can scrub him out, as he was only a youth player.

Didn't Paul Clark turn out for the O's ?

He went there but never played a game for them. Anyway, doesn't count as he never played for Colchester.
