I think its a bit harsh to include Scott Oakes in a worst team ever. Ok, he didn't really do much when he was here but he was a decent enough squad player.

[Eightace]

No waddle ? and Alexandersson and Brunt out wide instead?

The rest is good though but i prefered Carbone to Dicanio.

But there are a lot from my old days that i would probably include but its been so long i don't really know if they were better than the 90's players or not.

Curran,Bannister,Shelton,Lyons,Chapman would all have to be given thought.
