100%. Long story but I somehow ended up translating for Neuton when his car got stolen and he was reporting it to the police. I didn't even speak Portuguese but we could sort of understand each other in Spanish. He had the limpest handshake I've ever experienced and lived with his mum and designer dog in St Albans. He seemed like quite a nice bloke but an absolute wet lettuce and certainly not cut out for the hurly-burly of Championship football. Anyone else remember his comedy dive in front of the Rous when someone gave him the slightest tap on the face? Timber!

I would also add Matthew Briggs to the powder puff XI. For quite a big bloke, he was also a weakling, physically and mentally. His powder puff defending in the last minute against Burnley cost us automatic promotion and he repeated the trick when he ushered Knockaert into the box for the Leicester penalty. Ok, it led to one of the greatest moments in our history but his part in it is tainted with weakness.

Oh, and Jurado of course.

Holebas needs to go into the powder puff XI. Massive shirker when it comes to the 50/50's

 

If there's a powder puff 11, there must be a hard mans 11

There was a tribute programme to her last night I believe on BBC1.

 

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Kevin Richardson.

I wonder how many legends of yesteryear (Gibbo, Robbo, Smith, even Banes, Mooney or Blissett) would get on in today's PL....

The game has changed, so would any get in the squad now? Dunno!

 

Mooney not a hope in hell. Genuine player for us in the 2nd and 3rd tiers but l seriously question those putting him in our all time top XI. Blissett is an all together better version of Deeney so he makes it in easily. Barnes I could care less he is dead to me.

 

Blissett would be worth absolute shed loads and Barnes would be up there with Bale in terms of fee. They would be Prem stars.

Robbo is still doing it in the Championship at 37, him and Gibbs would easily be Premier full backs in the Burnley mold.

Smith and Mooney would be good Champ players, like they were in their prime.

 

I believe the OP may have gone for a few choices because of the way they looked (though probably not Doyley)


So any mentions of bow-legged Pat Rice, Gangly George Reilly or pepper-faced Troy should be null and void.
Hey maybe someone should start an 'Hideous Watford II' in return?

 

Ross Jenkins.

That's my Dream Team right there in the spirit of the OP.

 

Ross was my dream team as well

His was the name i called out in the playground on the rare occasion i actually scored a goal... and my mates would yell back "who?"

 

He was lush.
Luther had to prove he knew where the back of the net was...Luther did so much more than score. Cant remember much of Ross with the ball tbh just that he was on the pitch. It was enough for this 12 year old.

 

Thank you!

I think the best thing about Easton was his song.

 

Im surprised that up and till now, no ones mentioned Kevin Richardson not being mentioned.

 

This to me was one of the most surprising elements of this thread.

I wonder how many amongst us,having not mentioned Kevin Richardson were equally surprised when others too did not mention him?

Up there with missing socks and teaspoons in sinks perhaps?

No John Eustace?

 

on bench with Tom Walley.

 

Don't think his name has been mentioned anywhere, so I'm going to throw Kevin Richardson into the mix

 

No Dyche?

 

Hard but gone off him a bit as he likes to run into see ref for a whine at half time.

 

Fair point, a REAL hard man would've gone to see the ref & nutted him

 

Or kicked the dressing room door in a la Tom Walley at Luton.

 

George Reily should be in the hardest 11
