Your 23 man squad

[SoutheySWFC]

Make a 23-man World Cup style squad from the time you’ve been a supporter.

You are picking based on their at your club and not pre or post where they may have had success. (ie if a Man Yoo fan did his it would be inexperienced Pique not peak Pique)

Mine is :

Westwood
Grant
Turner

Nilsson
Harkes

Walker
Pearson
Thome
Warhurst

Worthington
Hinchcliffe

Palmer
Sheridan
Brunt
Petrescu
Lee
Alexandersson
Waddle

Carbone
Forestieri
Hirst
Di Canio
Hooper

Pickford, Johnstone, Nash;
Alexander, Fisher, Mawene, C.Davis, St Ledger, B.Davies, Cunningham, Davidson;
Pearson, Browne, McKenna, Wallace, McGeady, Gregan, Sedgwick, Lewis;
Fuller, Nugent, Maguire, Healy

 

[MagpieBee]

Some tough choices in there - most come from our most recent years, partly because I'm 29, but also we've been a lot better of late than we had been before!

GKs:

David Button
David Bentley

DFs:
Rico Henry
Jake Bidwell
James Tarkowski
Chris Mepham
Sam Sodje
Michael Turner

Alan Judge
Adam Forshaw
Romaine Sawyers
Jay Tabb
Toumani Diagouraga

FWs:
Jota
Ollie Watkins
Andre Gray
DJ Campbell
Lasse Vibe
Neal Maupay


A few players narrowly miss out - lots of our current team (Dalsgaard, Canos), Ryan Woods, Scott Hogan, Andreas Bjelland, Andy Frampton, Shay Logan, Jonathan Douglas, Lloyd Owusu, Paul Smith. I'm sure I've forgotten a bunch of people as well.

I would include Stimac but I never managed to see him play in the flesh despite him being at the club when I first went.
Too many good players left out.

Some names from the past there. Will do mine later, too busy at moment.

So it's when you were old enough to start supporting your team? No players from when you were 1,2,3,4? First game was in 89 so I'll start from that season.

I know, I did mine based on players who played internationally rather than were simply good players, Sasa was great but not really a team player so he missed out because of that

Fixed for you.

Fixed for you.

I preferred the Stephen Carr hand-shuffle...

Our League Cup winning Captain. A bona fide Blues legend.

And to think we brought him out of semi-retirement.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Fixed for you.

Because he's an Arsehole!
