Where is Jack Southworth in that team? I think he scored more goals per game than Shearer did. I'm not really 155 years old, although it feels that way somedays lol. I typed in the 1st rovers starting 11 to win the FA cup from wiki. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stands out, Berkovic was another good un.. I really wanted to put Flitters in there, feel like if he'd played for a bigger side he'd have played for England. Quality player! I put Raya in too- loved his agility and reflexes. Exciting players. Friedel was class but a very different goalie to Big Brad. We've had some belting players over the years.. Cole, Jansen, Speedie etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergus Suter only played one game for us in the Football League. Because it only formed about a year before he retired. But he played for us for 9 years, including playing in 4 FA Cup finals. It was all about the FA Cup back then, even for a little while after the league started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingles staying down 4ever Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I thought the original post was applying present tactics. When under JDT have we played 4-4-2? My team would be Freidal Emerton Berg Henchoz Le Saux Sherwood Tugay Bellamy Dunn Duff Chris Brown As we are using today's tactics, the ultimate striker who couldnt score has to Chris Brown.......only kidding it has to be Alan Shearer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftWinger Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Excellent thread. I'm only making one change from the opening line up - Bellamy in for Dunn. I was tempted to stick Jermaine Jones in midfield over Sherwood (his work rate was incredible), but took the option of Sherwood with him being better on the ball. Hendry misses out due to not being the best with the ball at his feet.
