All time 5 aside team 15:54 - Sep 5 with 4141 viewsYallop

On talksport this morning following the Danish picking 5 aside players Brazil and McCoist picked their all time British 5 aside team. For the record Brazil (who imho gets a rough ride on here) picked 2 town players in his + Sivell as sub!).

Anyway mine would take some beating.

Southall
Beattie
Hoddle Robson (Bryan)
Dalglish

The 1970's were great for stuff like that. The other TV competition was the Superstars where sportsmen of the day competed in a mini Olympics. Keegan fell off his bike in 1976 whilst at his peak for Liverpool and England.


The clubs would never allow any of this now.

Surperstars was great. I used to join in the with the events you could easily do in front of the TV like the sit ups and squat thrusts, see if I could beat the pros . TWTD.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

I remember seeing it on TV but would only have been guessing as to who played in it.

Yes, Osman was on standby on Cup Final day but more for Hunter than for Beattie although neither of those two were fully fit.

edit-in all competitions in 1977/78 Osman played 37 games and The Beat 21.Big Al played 53(out of 58).

I remember a forlorn Osman wandering around Wembley holding Basil Brush.

Maybe not the best, but I'd love to see it:

Craig Gordon (post knee injury) - He was crazy good before his injury.
Ledley King - Who needs knees!
Paul Scholes - Perfect passer!
Aaron Ramsey - This one would get me flak but he'd be quality in a 5 a'side team.
Matt Le Tissier - Le'God.

Yeah, I wonder if that was the only Cup Final that Basil Brush went to.

Never fails to make me laugh when we hear about modern players whingeing about playing too many games.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Was on a Friday evening I think. I remember Malcolm McDonald winning the 100 metres. Would liked to have seen Alan Brazil go up against him in his day.

Think it would be more entertaining to see Alan trying that now...

I think Russell Osman played over 60 competitive games in the 1980/81 season.

Osman started all 66 of our games.
Muhren65,Butcher 64,Wark 64,Cooper61,Gates60.
Mariner,Brazil,Mills and Thijssen all started over 50.
McCall 45(Plus 3 substitute appearances).

Burley's season finished at Shrewsbury in January.

On top of that most of them were also playing Internationals.

Thanks as always to TMWMTT.

Not sure Beattie's aerial prowess would be needed if the ball can't go above head height.

Laurie Sivell in goal.

Poll: Who do you blame for our failure to progress?

Are you judging Gordon from his pre injury football manager stats? Beast.
