Dream Team

[orchardsaint]

after starting the all time saint thread yesterday, it seems channon, mlt and lambo are the top three. (of those that replied).

 

great to read so many names coming back, some forgotten, but obviously held dear.

 

however, my son has now asked me to name my all time team. difficult for me, i only started following the saints in the early eighties, (not my fault, it's when i was old enough) so i am only putting in players i have seen play. i could make a different team up from ones before my time. so many could go in, knowing what they did, but that would be from videos, not my memories.

 

here goes 4-4-2

( the numbers will mean something to fans from before the prem/money/tv era)

 

1 Niemi

2 Dodd

3 Dennis

4 Case ©

5 Svensson M

6 Wright

7 Keegan

8 Armstrong

9 Lambert

10 Moran

11 Wallace Dan

 

Subs (only 5 allowed)

Shilton

Beattie

Pahars

Richards

Cockerill

[Olallana]

The obvious question...

 

MLT ??

[EBS1980]

Kenna and Clyne both better than Dodd IMO at right back.

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

Niemi

Dodd Claus Killer Bridge

Fabrice Svensson Oakley Marsden

Pahars Beattie

 

Love that era.

You must be blind if you aren't including le tissier.

[aintforever]

Cockerill in but no Le Tissier, that is just bonkers.

[orchardsaint]

Don't worry. I know I'm stupid. Can't see the woods for the trees. Was trying too hard and missed the obvious.

 

Sorry KK but you are dropped.

 

And NC will now never ask my opinion on anything in future.

My FAVOURITE (not best, just my favs) team would be...

Here's my dream team, I'm a bit too young to have watched Paine, Channon, Ball, Keegan and co but this team would still kick some serious ass.

 

----------------------- Shilton -----------------------

 

Dodd -------- Wright -------- Ruddock -------- Bale

 

------------ Case ------------ Schneiderlin ----------

 

D Wallace ----------- Le Tissier ------------ Walcott

 

----------------------- Shearer -----------------------

Nice post. But wtf no le tiss?

[FreemantleSaint]

I started watching Saints in September 1986 so here's mine, using our current formation:

 

Niemi

 

Dodd Richards M Svensson Bridge

 

Case Schneiderlin

 

Rod Wallace Le Tissier Bale

 

Lambert

 

Subs:

Flowers

Monkou

Marsden

Berkovic

Beattie

 

Only Bale's inclusion is partly based on achievements at other clubs. Clyne and Shaw could well play themselves into my dream team if they can continue their first season form.
