Yep. Apart from their attitude and approach it’s like choosing favourite songs, hard to separate from time and place. So earliest ones for me Trevor Francis & Alex Williams, but it wasn’t till about 86 when it really kicked in, hence my first picks. Randomly Vonk and Bosvelt, now I’ve been thinking about it and the reasons more.Indeed mate. Also your point in life to. I went regularly from 84/89 but getting promoted when I was 13 in 89 and buying players like Clive Allen/Niall Quinn will always be special. Roll on to my twenties, money in my pocket, going to away matches the likes of Kinkladze, Morrisson, Weaver, Horlock, Goater. Tough times but the happiest of times and a period in life you generally think back to fondly.
Completely forgot about Rosler and Paul Walsh for that matter.
Latterly Hart, Dzeko, Balotelli, Lescott, Zinchenko and I reckon Ake, Dias, Bernardo and Grealish will be in the squad. In other words I can’t really narrow it down to 11. Sounds soft, but I just love the club.
Great shout for Weaver, Quinn, Paul Walsh and Clive Allen. Would add Redmond to that as well.
