I agree that the players people pick identify their age group, so I thought I'd try and kick against that. I'd also try and introduce some new names
Jackie Swindells from the 60's (of course)
Two of my heroes from the early 70's Alan Wolfe and Bobby Todd (never mentioned!)
Len Dickinson and Gerry Casey to add further weight to the midfield
From the 76/77 and beyond, it's got to be Jeff Johnson
From the rebuilt late seventies team, Mal Bailey and John Rogers
From the post APL champions era, Peter Densmore and Paul Cuddy
If we wanted a 'fast and tricky winger' (programme notes to describe who?) - we've got Ernie Peters (um, is ths right?), ian Morris, Barry Howard, Paul Showler, Stuart Terry, Kevin Ellison
Left back? Got to be John Davison
Actually, all this proves is that every generation could legitimately pick 3 or 4 of the squad over any five season period and all of us would be perfectly justified in their selection, with wistful sighs and nostalgic remembrance of the (in my case) last 40 years of joy (and pain) that the mighty red and whites have given us.
And another thing, I didn't have much access to internet last week - and therefore couldn't contribute to the best Alty goal thread - but Mal Bailey at Runcorn in the trophy semi final has to be one of the most joyous!
