Town all-time single Home Nation team 11:30 - Dec 8 with 3620 viewsmonty_radio

Don’t remember if this has been done before, but how about Town sides composed of one single home nation. I’ll start with the Scots (which I am not, but I thought it would be one of moderate difficulty). This side has lots of oldies because I struggled to think of more recent Scottish players for Town — tell me who I have forgotten.

Jim Thorburn


Burley Baxter Wark Kenny Malcolm


Moran Leadbetter


Robertson Mathie Brazil Brogan

When Jackie Milburn signed Thorburn and it was pointed out how many goals he had conceded for Rath Rovers the previous season, he replied that it was not the goalkeeper it was the defence in front of him.

Then Jackie Milburn signed the centre half Jack Bolton, from Raith Rovers.

England team using just internationals off the top of my head:

Wright

Dyer Butcher Osman Beattie Mills

Livermore Talbot Whymark

Mariner Bent


A pure Ipswich England team would pick only fom these 12 players

http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamClubs/Clubs/IpswichTown.html

So it is

Wright

Mills Osman Butcher Beattie

Talbot Gates Viljoen

Crawford Mariner Johnson

Whymark on the bench

No-one had a go at an (united) Irish line-up yet so here goes:



Supple or Murphy


Tommy Carroll (not the recent one) McAuley Hunter Delaney



Hamilton Holland McGoldrick



Kevin Wilson Walters Kevin O’Callaghan

I did think about Hill, but was persuaded by Big John once being an "inside forward"

I'd go 442 and put Mills at right back, Beattie at Left back, with Dyer into the midfield.

Up top is difficult - I want Whymark alongside Mariner, with Gates in behind. Tough on Benty, but I think he's first reserve

If we can stretch this to New Zealand, then I suppose my dream team would be:

Number one, Tommy Smith
Number two ooo ooo, Tommy Smith...

That's got to hurt a bit if you're Jim Magilton.

Hegan was my absolute childhood hero from whom I think I copied holding your cuff while striking the ball - but he never carried the goal threat of Hamilton or McG as his statistics bear out (while playing in a much more prolific era). And Holland is a must.

Yes I almost logged back in to mention Danny Hegan (before you did), who was my favourite player of that time.

The Canadian team has a pretty good defence…

Craig Forest.

Bruce Twamley. Conrad de Vos. Frank Yallop that
Overhyped winger/wing back whose name I forget

Bit light in midfield and up front though.
