GoldenLee Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Killing some time at Manchester airport so we decided to come up with this, here are the rules. Rules: 25 man squad 2 for every position The remaining 3 have to have come through the Wednesday Academy. You can have any player who played for the owls in the Premier League. The player can be at ANY point in their career, not just at the point they were at when they were at Wednesday, which might mean a few surprise selections. Here goes: Goalkeepers: Chris Woods Bruce Grobbelaar Kevin Pressman Defenders: Andy Hinchcliffe Nigel Worthington Des Walker Nigel Pearson Emerson Thome Paul Warhurst Peter Shirtliff Viv Anderson Roland Nilsson Midfielders: Andy Sinton Regi Blinker Carlton Palmer John Sheridan Wim Jonk Klas Ingesson (God rest him) Ryan Jones Chris Waddle Trevor Francis Strikers: David Hirst Paulo Di Canio Benito Carbone Darko Kovacevic As I said in the rules, this can be players from ANY point in their career. The 3 Academy players I went for were Pressman, Shirtliff and Ryan Jones. Some dubious decisions I know but I imagine a team like that with those players in their peak would cause some real damage to other teams. That's my squad, what's yours??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good squad but I'd probably swap Blinker for Alexandersson & Ingesson for Nicol (top player in his prime) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we'd had him longer than his fleeting stint here. I loved him. He played with the freedom and expression of a kid in the schoolyard. My side would be similar to yours. One cheeky change. I'm dropping Brighty (much as I liked him and his impressive record) for Dalian because... well. I just loved him. So frustrating, but what a player. What huge potential. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did play in the Premier League. Which considering some people have players in their lists who were playing when you could still score a rouge, I think I can get away with!

Agree on Degryse, but I think Dalian only played for us in the old Div 1 and Bright is our all time top scorer in the PL so think he has to go in.

Struggled with us for injuries but, as a name, one of the biggest signings we have ever made with Waddle and Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 ANY POINT IN HIS CAREER and yet nobody picks Steve Nicol? Player of the Year in 1988 and one of the m,ost decorated players of the eighties? Also, apparently no Steve Watson who for a few years was the best right back in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 ...and no Trevor Francis? Have I misunderstood the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
