@owlstalk Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This is definitely the one I'd class as my squad The team that really got me hooked full on Loved Shelton and Bannister and Iain Hesford (went to all the reserve games) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbo48 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 How many of them would you have in our current first team though ? Banno, Shelts, Sterland, Megson, Shirty and Lyons are the only ones for me. There are some very average players in that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hodge Sterland Worthington Lyons Shirtliff Smith Megson Shelton Bannister Varadi Feel like Michael Palin on Ripping Yarns, reeling all those off. What I would give to have the modern day versions of some of those at S6 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That side steamrollered it's way to promotion, only unluckily missing out on the title on goal difference. Don't forget that there were several players not on that photo who joined either just before the season started or during it - Hodge, Varadi, Madden, Worthington, Cunningham. Hodge Madden Smith/Shirtliff Lyons Sterland Megson Shelton Worthington Varadi Bannister Forestieri Looks good to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just surprised how many pretty average players there were in that pic. If you add the names of those that joined later, as you have, it’s then a totally different picture and a really good first 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football was a man's game back then with none of this modern squad rotation, if you look at the player appearance stats the team was pretty consistent with 9 players appearing in either all or the vast majority of the season's games. http://www.adrianbullock.com/swfc/stats/lg1984.htm#Appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbo48 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 So in my 60 years watching I reckon we’ve had 4 ‘proper ‘ managers. Catterick Charlton Wilkinson Atkinson. What do you reckon , torry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed Catterick by a season but those 4 are far and away the standouts …….I think the list of fallouts would be a lot longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
