same age as me and think we replicate on 6 players .....Henderson doesn't get near my team but one of the greatest entertainers I've seen down at Hillsboro ...you knew if willie was in the team you were in for some excitement .

 

Can’t begin to imagine how you could defend against a team with Waddle on one wing and Willie on the other. 

 

You know Torry, we may never have rampaged through Europe like Man U or Liverpool or Forest, but would we swap our years of watching Wednesday for any other team in the world? 

 

And who knows, there’s always tomorrow...........

I'll rule out players I haven't seen live, so no Nilsson, Worthington, Pearson, Sheridan, Waddle

 

Pressman

Simek

Walker

Thome

No left back stands out in my memory. So I'll put Brunt there to fit Carbone in.

Alexandersson

Palmer

Lee

Carbone

Di Canio

Hirst

Think we need to put our age and when we started watching Wednesday on this.

I'm 48 started going early 70s can remember from late 70s. 

My Eleven would be 

1 Pressman

2 Nilson

3 Worthington

4 Walker

5 Lyons

6 Palmer c

7 Sheridan

8 Waddle

9 Hirst

10 Bannister

11 Curran

 

 subs Westwood, Sterland, Warhurst, M Smith, Shelton (I will limit it 5 as I could go on all day)

 

Manager Atkinson, assisted by Megson (got to fit him in somewhere)

 

Chairman Wilkinson (with Chansiri's cash)

 

Interesting to see both older and younger fans views.

 

 

 

 

This, but di Cano for bannister.......and possibly Hodge or westwood for pressy

On my team would have to be Jeff Johnson , Some may have had more skill ,But for tenacity I very much doubt ,He could go through Butterfield ,Jones and Fox at the same time .He arrived at the time we did not have money to splash about , We were screaming out for a midfield ball winner ,What we ended up with was a welsh warrior . My fav till the day I die.

Roland went about his job calmly and professionally without breaking sweat or putting a hair out of place, He was that good.

Although I did love Mel Sterland too, knew him off the pitch saw him in local pubs, we lived in same area.

Understandable....choosing Sterland instead of Nilsson isn't though!

 

Nilsson is the one player we've had who would stand a very good chance of getting in a best ever top flight team, never mind a Wednesday XI

This more than anything divides Wednesday fans about past players. I loved Mel, true hero and to see him rampaging down the wing on the overlap in the early to mid 80's was a sight to behold.

However, you are dead right about Nilsson. I would go as far to say that he is the best ever Wednesday player in his position compared to all players playing at the time (does that make sense?). I think the only right back who was in his class in the early 90's was Cafu
