The Entertainers!

[RobM]

Never mind their ability, good or bad, which 11 players would you have purely for entertainment?

1. Mervyn Cawston
2. Hmmm...no idea here
3. Chris Powell
4. Alan Moody
5. Dorrian Dervite
6. Bilel Mohsni
7. Ryan Hall
8. Dru Yearwood
9. Drewe Broughton
10. David Crown
11. Freddie Eastwood (433)

Surely this gentleman should be amongst that 11? - Roy McDonough

 

[RobM]

Well, instead of whom? It's a rum do.

In for Drewe. The entertainment levels for Roy were immense. A class footballer when in the mood and the sense of expectation from the crowd when someone fouled him and then we all held our breath waiting for the retribution!!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here - If you're going for entertainment, then John Burridge is a shoe in for keeper.

You look more as if you're picking on merit, and then have Dru Yearwood in! I really don't understand your criteria.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I's swap Dru for Ronnie Whelan.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Surely Ricky otto should be in there

 

[RobM]

The criteria? Who do/did you find most entertaining! My 11 is just a suggested one.

This. Can’t think of any player who’s caused the entire stadium to start buzzing that much when he’s got the ball, maybe Stanley for that one season. He was magic.

I was always willing someone to pass him the ball. His first touch was brilliant, foot, thigh, chest, always under control in a split second. Full of tricks and the trademark somersault celebration was something else.

Feels like there could be an Entertainers poll coming on. Run it for a week and then most votes for the top 11 gets the nod. What say you @RobM? Names can be added during the week and then a cut-off.

Well, I definitely find Dru Yearwood an odd one then!

 

[Barling Magna]

Johnny McKinven.

 

[The Big Dady]

Nice to see you have Bilel Mohsni on your list of entertainers.

 

[RobM]

Maybe that says a bit about me! Who's your CM choice (where i seem to be lacking!)?

Nicky Bailey, Alan McCormack or Ryan Leonard - any of those had the ability to entertain.

My favourite ever Southend player, well except for BBBC. When he got the ball and ran at players it was a joy to watch him.

 

[Blueronron]

Julian Jinxy Hails all day for me on the wing

 

[LBBlue]

Where’s Ricky Otto!!!
And Anton Otulakowski’s handstand long throw.
Colin Morris’s bandy legs.
Richard Cadette.

Ian McKechnie used to do hand stands to celebrate when we scored.
