McClarky 981 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 So this is the best ever Rovers XI without Tugay is it? Shocked that anyone would have Tosin 8n it, a liane who has played a few games in the 2nd division for us. For the record my team would be: Flowers Price le Saux Moran Hendry Ripley Sherwood Kendall Duff Shearer Garner Only including players I’ve watched since 1979. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He could attack and he could defend. I remember watching him as a young player and he was marking Cliff Jones, the Gareth Bale of his day. Jones never got a kick. I thought then this lad could go far, he's got all the assets to be a top class full back. Alan Hunter was good for us and brilliant at Ipswich under Bobby Robson. My best 11 since 1961.

Oldgregg86 3448 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 One I forgot who is surly better than tosin and imo kenna, Stephen Warnock. Nobody fancy him in the 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody fancy him in the 11 Warnock was a left back though, and will always be behind Le Saux in best 11's. He's the best left back we have had in the past 20 years though.

His performances in the second half of that season, once he'd got over some injuries he had in the first half, were absolutely outstanding at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrenbot 315 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 My first game was in '88 Flowers Kenna Moran Hendry LeSaux Dunn Batty Sellers Bellamy Shearer Garner Scott Sellers was my first fav player so hes in over Duff,that forward line should trouble a few defences.

Freidel Newton England Samba Le Saux M Ferguson Clayton Douglas Duff Shearer Bellamy. How close is Tugay to that 11 Tyrone? Agree that's high praise for Bellamy indeed considering he only played 32 games for us, but what a player. Had you out of your seat everytime he got the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ianrally 76 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 This is soo difficult when you consider the players from the UK and Ireland who have played for the club. We were truly blessed with a very high standard over the years. I can’t argue with Shearer or Bellamy in the line up but I’ve always had a soft spot for David Speedie because of how he got us through to the play offs and how he got us that penalty. Also as far as strikers go, even Tyrone hasn’t mentioned Andy McEvoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McClarky 981 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Funny how we’ve been stronger at left back than right back. I would have a Rathbone, Wright, Warnock as solid back up for Le Saux but struggled to pick a right back. I’ve probably forgotten a few though to be fair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why I went for 3 at the back so I didnt need one ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
