Ha! I'd almost forgotten your man-crush on Perkins.

 

[Strike Force]

GK: Mildenhall - really good goalkeeper, very much underrated in his time here.

RB: Francis - the best right back I've ever seen for us. Would have been a quality right winger.
CB: Clarke - alwyas rated him over Barrett
CB: Dervite - the most gifted centre half we've had, even if he was only here for a couple of months
LB: Searle - just always had a soft spot

RW: Gower - goals, assists, excitement
CM: Maher - the legend.
CM: Black (Tommy) the man who I think could have taken us to another level. Unbelievably good on his day and when played in his favoured position
LW: Forbes - just a pure legend

FW: Eastwood - the king.
FW: Carruthers - first striker I ever score any goals for us.

How the hell have you managed to spell Otulakowski correctly but not Collymore!

Anyway, I like the spread across the generations of that team:thumbsup:

I love some of these combinations. A fascinating insight into the different individual thoughts but also some names I'd overlooked as well. Keep them coming.

A fantasy football game based on these line ups?
