[Norwichshrimper]

That's more tricky than it sounds 'cos you suddenly have Dean Austin and Mark Hammell vying for the same position.

Confused? Mark Hammell was Luke Skywalker and Stevie Hammell was a left back wasn't he? :dizzy:

Same position?

Dean Austin was a Right sided Defender who wore the no.2 shirt so is more likely to be up for the R2D2 role.

Ooopps. Still, you get the point.

Surprised that there has been no mention of greats such as Butler, Sussex, Ling or Westley.

Rubbish! Next you'll be telling me that David Gower didn't play on the wing and was in fact Inspector Morse.

Andy Woodman - such a loveable character

Che Wilson - always had time for the fans
Adam Barrett - pure passion for the club
Efe Sodje - always wanted him to play for us and when he signed was over the moon. Wish he never left.
Steve Hammell - one of the best left backs we have had.

Scott Forbes - that Canvey goal will stay in my memory forever and such a quality player shame it didn't work out.
Ricky Otto - blistering pace always a pleasure to watch.
Mark Gower - very enjoyable to watch and scored some crackers.
Nicky Bailey - class above the rest and should of gone onto play in the premiership

Freddy Eastwood - quality player and so pleased he came back its finally starting to look like he is back to scoring.
Leon Constantine - I was gutted when he left and he was unstoppable in his best season for us.

Subs : Darryl Flahavan, Kevin Maher, Stan Collymore, Chris Powell, Andy Ansah

 

[Welly7]

Not my best ever team but a side of my favourite players:

Flavs, Stead, Clark, Barrett, Powell, Ansah, Maher, Butler, Tilson, Crown, Eastwood.

Disappointed that I can't find a space for Benji, Collymore, Angell, Cadette, Sussex, Paul Roberts (not sure why I liked him!?!?), Sammy, Royce, Otto, Mooney, Pennyfather, Gower, Goater, Bressington (despite the penalty miss!) and Dave Martin. In fact, Martin has to be in there although I'm not sure who for! Too hard to pick an XI...I'm sure I've missed loads out!

 

[Herne Bay shrimper]

I missed the glory days of Stanley Victor et al, due to being too young - but my all-time eleven favourite players:

GK: Darryl Flahavan (Do you hate Col U)

LB: Damon Searle (For THAT goal against Rushden)
CB: Efe Sodje (The bandana wearing legend)
CB: Adam Barrett (Mr. Southend)
RB: Duncan Jupp (for that goal against Lincoln, and the celebration afterwards)

LM: Mark Gower (fantastic build-up play)
CM: Mark Bentley (terrific engine)
CM: Kevin Maher (Ran the show in the Championship, got his name on the back of my shirt!)
RM: Mitchell Cole (lovely lad, RIP)

ST: Freddy Eastwood
ST: Barry Corr

SUBS: Mel Capleton, Lee Barnard, Leon Cort, Simon Francis, Anthony Straker (football genius), Scott Forbes, Franck Moussa
