Name your best ever CCFC from players you have seen play over the years. For me (41 years old and started going mid 80's) Oggy GK, Dave Phillips RB, Trevor Peake CB, Scott Dann CB, Phil Babb LB, Dave Bennett RM, Gary McAllister CM, David Thompson CM, Peter Ndlovu LM, Kevin Gallagher CF, Dion Dublin CF. Subs Magnus Hedman GK, Robbie Keane, Cyrille Regis, Brian Burrows, Roland Nilson, Aaron Gunnarson.
Phillips at right back surprises me. Always liked Phillips, my favourite player we've had (for no reason than he was the first signing I remember who then went on to do well for us, and he had a good shot!) bbut when Borrows was the regular RB, surprised you'd pick Phillips there ahead of him.
Don't get me wrong I loved Bugsy but Phillips had a football brain and could play as good at Right Mid or in the Centre Mid too. For me at times he just looked comfortable on the ball whereas Bugsy bless him looked like he was legging everywhere for his life and sometimes when he was running down the wing it reminded me of a disney cartoon with all legs and arms!
I'd have Phillips centre midfield myself (kind of ironic he left us for Norwich as he wanted to play there, and they ended up playing him right mid too!) but in terms of solidity, consistency, longeivity don't think you can beat Peake and Borrows in my lifetime at least.
I'll grant you Phillips ended up the archetypal utility player, who maybe wasn't valued as he should have been as a result.
You are right about Peake though, if he had been in a bigger team I reckon he would have won England caps. Jesus, this is weird talking about football.
Surprised you missed out Maguire.
First and foremost thank you to the Gentleman, not only for doing a football related thread but also for reigniting memories of a happier footballing world for me.
Now the team, well it is actually quite a difficult one, so I have cheated and had two teams of mix and match
Oggy or Blyth GK
Thomas or Nillson RB
Pearce or Babb (LB)
Gillespie or Breen (CH)
Peake or Dann (CH)
Bennett or Hutchison (RM)
Ndlovu or Froggatt (LM)
McAllister or Speedie (CM)
Boateng or Yorath (CM)
Gallagher or Keane (CF)
Regis or Dublin (CF)
Subs - Too many to mention but Gynn, Borrows, Whelan, Huckerby, Hedman, Chippo, Konjic, etc etc
I am sure I have missed many many good players out as well.....
