f**kin hell seen some sh*t teams listed for a best XI

Don't know why so many people think Reeves and Little would make a good partnership up front

Christ even on a thread about people naming the best XI THEY have SEEN play you have to have a pop. Getting a bit sad now think you may need to get a life.

As it states it's about the players you have seen, if you have only been going like me since 2004 who else are you going to pick other than a player who was the third highest goal scorer in the league in a team that got relegated and a man who scored for fun in the last few years.?

Just interested in peoples choce of Keeper. I guess Coburn is the resounding consensus, which I can't argue with, and the odd vote for John Conaughton. Nobody mentioned Alex Stepney. I saw him play the odd game, but I was very young in those days so not best placed to judge. What is the view (from our less youthful fans) on his performances for Alty??

[Saughall Robin]

I have made a recent change to my First XI with Coburn finally replacing Connaughton, and Reeves has come on to the bench in place of Colin Little


Stuart Coburn

Peter Densmore
Mal Bailey
Ryan Shotton
John Davison

Barry Howard
John King
Jeff Johnson
Graham Barrow

Jack Swindells
John Rogers


Bench: John Connaughton, John Owens, Graham Heathcote, Paul Cuddy, Damien Reeves

As above but with Stan Allan at right back.
Curiously enough, don't agree with any of the subs!

[AFC56]

1. Stuart Coburn
2. Shaun Densmore
3. Danny Adams
4. Paul Ellender
5. Mark Maddox
6. Eddie Hussin
7. Colin Potts
8. Ricky Harris
9. Colin Little
10. Duncan Watmore
11. Kevin Ellison

[GB Alty]

No disrepect to carmody and harris but the current central midfield four we have are better players imo

I think you can only say that once were 4th in the conference

People may not been going as long as you Sybil so can't pick players they haven't seen we haven't won anything of note for 30 years so maybe some recent players won't be legends

That's nonsense Jimmy and no excuse for picking poor players like Simeon Hodson

Someone also picked Clive Freeman, a few nice goals, but he one of the worst defenders we ever had!

If that was the case why you need 3 of them to win any game And it is disrespectful to carmody and Harris

Obviously Alex Stepney was a quality player....and if I were considering the performances I saw him put in for United, and for England on my only international at Wembley, he'd be a natural choice.

But I picked my XI strictly on performances for Alty, and he'd only be my third choice....with Willie Mailey pushing him hard for that spot.

Not sure Shotton should be in. He was good but not as good as he is now. Also I give more credence to conference over conf north when considering merits of players.

Fair point concerning Shotton. But that's like saying we shouldn't have Ellison because he wasn't as good as he later went on to be, but he was still absolutely class in an Altrincham shirt. If I took Shotton out you'd probably (in my watching years anyway) have to replace him with Greg Young or Adam Smith.

EDIT: Who I've only just thought about as one of them definitely should have made my bench.

He was an absolute Institute for us.

Not really, Ellison can be selected or not on his Alty performances. I'd not even consider his subsequent league career. However, Shotton (at the time) was just a fairly good young player. He wasn't even the best defender in his time year (Greg Young for an 18 month period was)

[Ballers]

Money where mouth is time I guess

Coburn
Davison (bit of artistic licence here having him at RB)
Densmore P
Young
Cuddy
Daws
Anderson
Harris
Showler
McKenna
Little

Subs Wealands Ellender Kearney Craney Watmore reeves

And the bit about our current midfield being better than Carmody and in particular Harris is total rubbish I'm afraid.

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

Jesus  Sybil it's a bit of fun not a hanging offence, everyone has there favourite times of supporting Alty. Brenden Burke was not an Alty legend but god he could play (as you'd know if your football knowledge existed outside of Altrincham). FFS

Burke was not a good player for us, so why would you put him in your all time Alty team (from the players you have seen of course)

Very rare I disagree with ballers however I thought shotton was a class player even in his days with us I didn't pick him because I don't consider him our player
