Strong side but not Yorath in the back four he was a midfielder. I'd put Jim Holton in there instead.

Think the lad who did the picture has them both in the wrong positions . I think he meant Gillespie in back four and Yorath in midfield .

Bill Glazier
Roland Nillson George Curtis Gary Gillespie Stuart Pearce
Gary McAllister Dennis Wise Ron Farmer Tommy Hutchison
Dion Dublin Robbie Keane

I think this team would at least hold it's own in their prime, maybe even top half of the Premier league.

not bad at all, didn't see Glazier, Farmer or Curtis so I'd put Blyth in, stick McCallister in the middle and have Bennet on the right and put Peake in for Curtis.

I think roland was overrated but a great guy. Was at fault fpr the Sheff Utd equalizer in the quarter final at their place giving away an unecessary coener which they then scored from, Moldovan's miss was worse though.

Borrows - tremendous player

Probably his only ever mistake, while Borrows was an excellent player for us, Roland played at the very top level of the game.

I'm a massive fan of Bugsy and it was disgraceful that he didn't get some England caps under his belt but I have to agree about Roland. Can't believe he never played for a really big club.

I don't think we played to his strengths for much of his time here.

Once we had players around him who were more on his wave length, (particularly the Moroccans), then we started to see what he could do.

I don't think he was rubbish, but there's no doubt his huge reputation glosses over his
Average stint with us, would rather have, Robson Boateng or Emerson

Clint post 11 if you had seen Curtis play no way would you swap the two even as good as Peake was.

Unlike you to point out a rubbish City player G ! How about saying 'Steve Hunt was great' instead. Go on - you'll feel better about yourself :kiss:

Most posters on here probably wouldn't remember Wallace, or even Froggat. Would take both in any side.

Have you ever seen Yorath and Gillespie play? You certainly don't know their positions? I will be kind and assume it was a drag and drop mistake.
