Drop Gallagher and Glendenning.

Replace with Barry Knowles and the indefatigable Gerry Casey.

I had a feeling those of an "older vintage" would be able to improve on my XI!

I'd find space for Eddie Bishop.

Am I forgetting something about Danny Murphy? Wasn't he a slight and rather injury-prone winger?

That's a good shout as regards Eddie Bishop.

Graham Barrow is surely another midfielder worthy of inclusion.

As for Danny Murphy, whilst he was, indeed, somewhat fragile as a player, I believe that he was considerably 'handy' off the pitch.

Other contributors may be able to corroborate this.....

Tony McLoughlin
Micky Gannon
Derek Halliwell

With a special mention for Sir Jackie ... spotless disciplinary record, but had to be as tough as any of em to take the stick he took and still smash all those goals in the back of the net!

Very true. I remember once when he was up against a young right winger, Tommy said in his broad Bolton accent "You try and go past me lad and you'll end up in't stand"

Another quote i once heard was "You try and get past me and Tho'll get gravel rash"
I was Alty mascot when he played and I once tried his cap on (When he wasnt there I hasten to had) and it was massive. He must have had a head the size of chuffing Bull  ;) :D

A couple more names from the 60's  Big John Higgins and Frankie Peters - the latter who I believe now resides in the Shrewsbury area.

Ian Horrigan.

A handy amatuer boxer as far as I had heard, certainly the scousers at the time thought so. Looked a stocky fella if crap footballer.

Apparently the Bishop Auckland players decided to get back at George Shepherd and it was Horrigan who put 4 or 5 of them out of action. (embellishment possible, we'll never know).

No slouch, I'll admit, but would only make the bench. Mind you, he'd get a few outings when others were suspended  :D
