Shezza Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 19 hours ago, GoldenLee said: 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??? Very difficult to take anyone who leaves out Simon Coleman seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have him, regular for the Dutch national team in the 90s as well as playing for some of the top teams in Europe at the time 1 hour ago, George said: 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. I know but RB was a very tough call because I also had to leave out Dan Petrescu but that's the thing about football, you sometimes have to make sacrifices in your selection. And Steve Watson didn't play for us in the Premier League, he came in much later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gotta have him and Rolland as the two RBs for me. Certainly better than Blondeau, Atherton, Nolan et al! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I tweaked your rules was because I left the country for work half way through our 1990/91 season and still live and work abroad to this day ..so never actually saw us live in the "Premier League" and was reliant on tv highlights and broadcasts .. sincere apologies for any offence ..

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. Many times I saw Degryse control a 40 yard pass and keep the ball at his feet. Loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
