    Wayne Henderson

    Alan Maybury
    Andy O'Brien
    Gary Doherty
    John O'Shea

    Rory Delay----Colin Healy----Graham Kavanagh
    Stephen McFail

    David Connolly
    Alan Quinn


    I only picked players with more than 5 caps.

    Healy was a good player, justunlucky with injuries, Delap was solid, can't see why he is in there as he never really got a chance with Ireland, Henderson is a good young keeper, not half as bad as Colgan or Kenny. McPhail is a damned good player and if injuries in the early part of his career hadnt almost forced him to retire he would be a regular in a mid table premiership team easily.

    I could pick holes in most of your selection tbh.

    Harte's one of our top scorers of all time so he can't go in it. His dead balls are too good.

    saha would make it into any team in europe the fact that he cant stay fit dont take away from his talent as a footballer

    Stephen McPhail is still playing mate , he is earning a living at the mighty Cardif city : during his first season at Ninian Park, he showed his potential, being ever-present in the starting line-up and in July 2007 he was rewarded with a new four-year contract at the club[7]. Manager Dave Jones continued to show faith in the midfielder when, at the start of the 2007/08 season, he made McPhail temporary captain in the absence of normal captain Darren Purse and vice-captain Riccardo Scimeca.

    EDItsorry i missed the Almost part. Sorry

    Man U

    Taibi
    Silvestre Blanc Prunier Milne
    Kleberson Djemba Djemba Veron Miller Chadwick
    Forlan

    Also in my least fave Man U formation ever. 4-5-1 was so bad.

    Saha when fit has been far from poor for United. Bit harsh on Phil Neville and John O'Shea aswell.

    Too right. Phil Neville is a good player..

    After he went to Everton, Alex Ferguson came out and said it was the worst decision of his life letting him leave, but he did it as phil neville said he wanted first team football every week. For someone like Alex Ferguson to come out and say that says something....

    Id put De Lucas on any worst 11 ahead of Gronkjaer everyday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,951 ✭✭✭DSB


    I thought Leboeuf was good.

    Dave Beasant was a quality keeper...

    Frank LeBouef has a world cup winners medal. He was a good player at chelsea!

    Deschamps, Petit and Laudrup are probably fair enough as they played feck all and were at the end of their careers.... but those guys in their prime would have been something else! ;)

    Stick Veron in there and you can have special dispensation to play 12 players! :D

    Some crazy suggestions there.
    Dion Dublin/P Neville/ O Shea.
    Far far worse players than these, granted while saha is an injury nightmare he is not a **** player.
    Dion Dublin, model professional, shame he broke his leg first season he signed for man u, this may have made the move for cantona happen but again people have such short memories. 92-93-(possibly 93-94) season for man u, find out what games dion dublin scored in. And bear in mind i don' think he played enough to get a medal either season, but he scored some vital goals. And again was a decent player. I find it really hard that people include player that have played a handful of games!

    O Shea, again there have been far worse defenders than him... And he's miles better than Torvam Picnic!!

    Think you're right Dublin didn't play enough games to auto get a medal but he was chosen by Ferguson to get a medal as the club are given number of medals which they can give to players who didnt play the required amount of games.

    Yeah something like that, i do remember him having a run of about 3 games towards the end of one of those seasons where he was immense. Need to find that DVD again!!

    Disagree, Dublin played 16 games in total for united, scoring 2 goals. He was completely out of place at united, broken leg or not. He is and was a model pro alright just never good enough to be a united striker. After coming back from injury he was never gonna seriosly smell the starting XI. Obviously he continued to do a good if unspectacular job at mediocre clubs after his departure.

    He went on to score over 100 goals at Coventry City & Aston Villa! That's far from mediocre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,915 ✭✭✭✭menoscemo


    The thread is about the worst ever XI at your club, not at some other club. He is and was a mediocre player who did a good job at lower teams like Coventry but was never in the class of a united striker.
    Edit- BTW it was the clubs i was describing as mediocre

    David Unsworth was a true evertonian, who was one of our top performers over the years. No way does he deserve to be in a worst 11... very harsh.

    +1 def doesn't deserve to be in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭damo


    I disagree, consistent donkey over the years. He made up part of the backbone of all the poor everton teams under Royle, Kendall & Smith. His only quality was scoring penalties....his defending was brutal.

    You are entitled to your opinion, but you are of course wrong :D


    The amount of times that Unsy saved us... goal line clearances, blocking down balls like a lunatic. He was one of the major components of the 'Dogs of War' team from '95 direction. He played very well for us in that season in particular on the way to the cup...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭damo


    Consistent Donkey. One time Aston Villa sold him 2 days after they bought him because he was so bad. They found some gullible mugs down in Liverpool who took him.

    End of thread.

    :D

    It was more a case that his family didn't settle in Birmingham. Everton then signed him..
