Question Your best all time SUFC 11?

[bertbert]

All for got Spence Mercer cussack

 

[thenobster]

So many missed out Mike marsh, peter Taylor, bill garner..

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

No one has mentioned Jason Lee ... Didn't he follow Stan to Nottm Forest ?

He did but he wouldn’t make it into the best SUFC XI of 1993-94 let alone all-time. I’d have Tommy Mooney and Brett Angell ahead of him and not have to think twice about it.

yea with the best will in the world, he was awful.

On a hiding to nothing being 'Stans replacement' though I guess. Big boots to fill.

The fact he went on to have as good a career as he did is a testament to his character I think.

Honestly I said he was poo on his debut when he got a hattrick against (I think) Cape Town Spurs at Roots Hall.

M Cawston

D Austin

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Based on around 20 years of following SUFC, and in a 4-3-3 formation - a few square pegs in round holes, I know, but I found it hard to think of wingers:

Bentley

Francis
Clarke
Barrett
Coker

Leonard
Maher
Bailey

Assombalonga
Eastwood
Gower

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

Billy Best's 106 goals in 226 games should earn him a place in our best XI.

The above total is only his league games and goals which is none too shabby, however if you then include league and F.A. Cup goals it is as follows 246 matches + 1 as a substitute against Watford in March '73 this brings in a total of 123 goals of which 85 were scored at Roots Hall (a record) in about 127 matches between February 1968 through to April 1973.

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

Not a bad record to be fair .... what would he cost these days???

P R I C E L E S S !!

 

[Texas Eslan]

Intrigued how many times I’ve seen Federici mentioned given he played a grand total of 10 games. Good keeper I will grant you but best ever?

 

[cerbera45]

I can hear my Dad shouting Eddie Firmani

 

[sufcjoe]

Bentley

Clohessey Cort Barrett Searle

[Tangled up in Blue]

I mean I’d have loved to have seen McKinven play or McAlinden. Or even Stubbs.

Think Johnny Mac was overated personally.
