supersonic Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I know this topic has been discussed previously but I'm interested in seeing what people's opinions are of their greatest ever Saints XI. The rules are simple: 1.Name your all-time greatest Saints XI (past and present players and any formation can be used) 2. Any reasons why you have chosen certain players (this is optional) I'll start with mine (bearing in mind I am only 20 so I won't know a lot of players) I've gone for a simple 4-4-2 formation Niemi Dodd Lundekvam Monkou Benali Channon Le Tissier Ball Marsden Shearer Pahars Over to you...

Mark Wright and Dave Watson are the best 2 centre backs we've ever had.Chris Nicholl follows close behind. Lundekvam would be lucky to clean their boots. It's a no brainer. Wayman instead of Shearer ....yeah right, Reeves was better. Edited 27 April, 2011 by Window Cleaner

I'm assuming you've come to that conclusion only because Neal Trotman and Callum Davenport were on loan?
Window Cleaner Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I'm assuming you've come to that conclusion only because Neal Trotman and Callum Davenport were on loan? Callum Davenport, how could I overlook an icon such as he.If we had played with 10 men and an apprentice we'd probably have come out of it better off. Trotman;whilst not ever going to be one of the greats,was OK for a while, then he found out that Preston (was it?) wanted him back and he sort of gave up.

Deppo Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 This thread is disrespectful to St Landrew's memory.
Dimond Geezer Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Mine would be assuming all players in their prime, not necessarily when playing for Saints Shilton Golac Wright Nicholl Dennis Case Armstrong Le Tissier Keegan D Wallace Worthington
ericb Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Based on players i've seen, Shilton Dodd Wright Monkou Bale Case Armstrong Le Tissier Wallace (d) Shearer Pahars Not the most balanced of teams to be fair but my favourite players, Bench: Neimi Oakley Killer Bridge Walcott Beattie
Saint-Fred Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 best team was 83/84 best in one of games , the side with KK, Ball and Channon KK wasn't in that team!
