RULES: 1) 250 + apps (if you extend down to 200 the field will be wider, but not much)
2) If you never saw enough of these to form a team, you can drop to 200 (see at the bottom).
3) If you want to restrict your team to those you actually saw play, then just indicate .
4) If you didn't see enough of these to form a team, after using as many as you can, then complete your team with any long-serving players (say at least 5 seasons, that you did see)
CHOICES
Bailey, Wright, Forrest, Cooper
Burley, Carberry, Yallop, Stockwell, Zondervan, McCall, Mills, Malcolm, Wilnis
Baxter, Hunter, Osman, Butcher, Linighan, Beattie, Chambers
Wark, Tommy Parker, Elsworthy, Dai Rees, Gates, Leadbetter, Viljoen, Woods, Holland, Magilton, Milton, Dozzell, Mick Lambert, Peter Morris, Skuse.
Crawford, Phillips, Tom Garneys, Mariner, Scowcroft, Whymark, Naylor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, extending it down to 200+ apps doesn't bring in too many more;
Two from the fifties: Harry Baird (goalie) and Neil Myles (fullback)
Two from the sixties: Danny Hegan, Frank Brogan
More recently: Couñago, Murphy, Geraint Williams, Kiwomya, D'Avray

From those I saw Live:
----------------------------Wright------------------------
Chambers------Linighan-------Wark----Yallop
-----------------------Skuse--------------------------
---------------Holland----Magilton----------------
----------------------Dozzell--------------------------
-----------------Stockwell--Scowcroft------------
That is literally the only XI I can put out, bar Craig Forrest. (Cole Skuse is missed off your list)
I could go 3 at the back with Stockwell RWB and shift Chambers over and then put Dozzell as a second striker with Scowy but balance of this works better for me |  |

Duly noted thanks - have also altered rules so more can play | |

No Cooper? |  | | |
| Best loyal servant team on 13:51 - Apr 19 with 1765 views | PJH |
Warky was great but he is on your list twice.
Cooper should be on your list.
From that my team would be:-
Bailey
Burley Hunter Beattie Mills
Viljoen Wark Elsworthy Magilton
Crawford Phillips
Viljoen the more advanced of the midfield but no natural width, not a bad team though. |  | | |
| Best loyal servant team on 14:04 - Apr 19 with 1741 views | Ftnfwest |
Whymark 261 I think |  | | |

Well unless people are approaching this from the "seen play" angle I think it's impossible to argue with that back four.
But on that point, I just missed seeing Bailey, Elsworthy and Phillips. Do you think Lambert would be a suitable replacement for Elsworthy to get a little width in the side? |  |

If I was playing a natural wide player from that list I would have Clive Woods ahead of Mick Lambert.
Lambert was certainly more consistent but Woods on his day was unplayable, something that I don't think Lambert ever really was.
Jimmy Leadbetter of course nominally played wide although he was not a winger as such. | | | |

Honoury roles on bench for Tommy Parkin and Robin Turner? |  |

Kevin O'Callaghan another one.
Not a bad player but still not sure why we signed a winger at a time that we did not really play wingers. | | | |

Was about to post if anyone picks Linegan they need sectioning :-)
(Then I saw the bit about seeing them live) |  |

Almost same as mine, though I'd go Mariner, Crawford up front, and possibly Dozzell for Elsworthy or Magilton.
It shows how short a time even some old favourites stay at your club that same who are etched in folklore never got anywhere near 200 appearances. [Post edited 19 Apr 2020 16:02]

I started watching in the early 70s so was privileged to see most of them
Cooper
Burley. Hunter. Beattie. Mills
Gates. Wark. Dozzell. Woods
Mariner. Whymark
Hardest choice was between Hunter and Butcher but Big Al's understanding with Beattie was second to none. |  | | |

Fvck 'em, this team will dominate them and they will end up laying to our strengths. | |

That can't disguise the fact that Stockwell never really trained hard enough in the goalkeeping role to earn himself a place. | |
