After Max's wunderstrike it got me wondering who would be in a fan's favourite XI? Players not necessarily that gifted (at the level we were playing at at the time) but loved by the fans for one reason or another?

Mo Konjic is an obvious one IMO, but what others? Richard Shaw maybe? Doyle?

Kilkline springs to mind.

Good thread this, and it's surprising we've not had such a thread before (as far as I know).

Another good thread idea could be "Grendel's most hated XI" although we'd have to tell him that Nick Eastwood, Ann Lucas and Andy Thorn aren't eligible.

Barry Quinn for some reason. Always remember the “save Barry Quinn” campaign where for some reason fans wanted him, who was another below average player to remain at the club.

'Grendel's most hated 111' - seems intent on hating every player who pulls on the shirt.

Waiting to hear him claim today that Max should have headed it rather than volleyed. :emoji_zipper_mouth:

I like the sound of this thread Dreamer. On Max though I would say he's more than proving himself at this level. And that goal was not a one off - we've seen him do that before.

I thought Aloisi was absolute class but not given a fair run by Strachan?

I really liked Aloisi, But the fact is that we are probably the best club he played for. Definitely should've kept him after relegation though, Would've been great in the 2nd tier but never quite cut it in the prem. Although we all love him for his 2 goals against Villa.

Here's a suggestion for this thread:

Sean Flynn. Came from non-league. Didn't have anything exceptional for Prem level. Didn't look like a talented athlete. But he battled away for the cause every time without creating any headlines or having a huge impact.

Until a game against Arsenal at HR. He was absolutely brilliant with the fans on the lower terrace of the Sky Blue stand going absolutely mental as he made international defenders look very average. It was a brilliant day to see such an unheralded player have his day in the sun.

One of the blokes I went with - who had been one of Flynny's harshest critics - gave him a standing ovation at the end.

Mickey Quinn. Quickest player to become a fans favourite I can think of.

I don’t understand this notion of Biamou being “not that gifted”. I think it’s all perception. It’s because he came from non league for no money. He’s a good player.
