BristolCity4Life84 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 K, a vaguely serious point.How can anyone seriously justify putting Tommy D in above Marvin Elliot astounds me,.Because he had been at the club over a longer period of time than Elliot and gave consistent performances for a number of years. If Elliot has a similar impact with us for a similar amount of time then i`d probably include him in my all-time 11. Elliot only came to us last summer.

downendcity Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 K, a vaguely serious point.How can anyone seriously justify putting Tommy D in above Marvin Elliot astounds me,.Agree with that, but also think hat fans of a certain age, like me, would add that how anyone can seriously justify putting either of these players in above Gerry Gow is also astounding, but if you never saw GG play then you wouldn't know, to be fair.For Marvin to be compared to Gow he has to maintain his current performance over a number of seasons, but also needs to be able to do so in the prem and against the best midfielders in the business. I always thought it would be "interesting" to see how Gow would have fared against Roy Kean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red to the world Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Can choose any player from any era. Here`s mine: (4-4-2 formation)-------------------------------------Phillips-------------------------------------...........Orr...........Carey...........Wedlock...........Bell......................Murray...........Cormack...........Tinnion...........Doherty...........--------------------------Ateyo...........Goater--------------------------This very much depends on your age and who you have seen.I have watched since 1960 and would say you can't leave out:Ateyo - clearly our best ever playerGibson as goalkeeperConnors as a centrebackGow as a midfielderCrowe as our best striker for the one season he was fitGalley as our best goal scorerMerrick as our best all rounderAND Chris Garland - on his day brilliant !!Just my opinion - I may have missed someone - I remember a right winger who scored at Notts County in the cup - name escapes me, someone please help, quick and wonderful control - going back about 25 years I guess......?

seesaw Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thoughts when doing this were:*what a lot of awesome left backs we've had*what a lot of average right backs we've had*what a lot of quality on the flanks we've had*what a lot of average players in the centre we've had*what a lot of good strikers we've hadAgreed with those comments, I've been watching since Mid sixties & the best R. back I'veseen in a city shirt ( but only for a few games)was Clayton Blackmore - Pure class.

maidenheadred Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Agreed with those comments, I've been watching since Mid sixties & the best R. back I'veseen in a city shirt ( but only for a few games)was Clayton Blackmore - Pure class.oh yeah - good point. he was a class above, wasnt he?That norweigen was good for about 5 minutes before he went off the boil -and I guess Adam Locke had his moments, but am struggling to find another name who would suit top half of the championship standard... Bradley is*just about* good enough, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity4Life84 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Good question, and I struggled with a creative CM and ended up putting Tinnion in and a right wing. Murray good, but at third grade. Also surprised so few put Cole. Me from 76GK BassoRB DrysdaleCB TaylorCB MerrickLB SweeneyLW WhiteheadCM GowCM TinnionRW TaintonCF CheesleyCF ColeSubs: Cashley, Goater, Shelton, Rogers, ElliotWe have spent too many years in Division 3 post 70's to have seen too many outstanding talents. It is changing rapidly though, and i suspect in the 5 years, we will see a big increase in the modern players into such selections.I struggled with Andy Cole or Shaun Goater upfront to partner Ateyo. But i choose Goater simply because he scored goals at the club for a longer period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Belgrave Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 All time City 11? The team of 1905-06 but with Bennett dropped in favour of Atyeo!That's a very interesting response. Apart from the legendary Wedlock, do you really think an Edwardian team could hack it in modern conditions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
