Bit of a random thought but what's everyone's favourite starting 11 & subs since watching the Gas. I don't mean who you think were the best, I am referring to who brings you most nostalgia etc.
Mine would be:
Neil Etherridge
Michael Smith
Tom Lockyer
Tom Parkes
Lee Brown
Mustapha Carayol
Chris Lines
Lee Mansell
Billy Bodin
Matt Harrold
Ellis Harrison
Subs:
Cian Bolger
Nathan Blissett
Vitālijs Astafjevs
Byron Anthony
Craig Hinton
Jo Kuffour
Stuart Sinclair

Oh sorry forgot Beadle. The 2-0 against city and the 92nd minute equalizer against city, which still ranks as one of my all time Gas moments.

I started doing this and I couldn’t justify anyone in place of anyone in that back five as it would just upset the balance. They were just so well drilled. That goes for the whole team really and, given that the likes of Yates, Holloway, White went on to play in the top flight it’s fascinating to think what might have been had we kept hold of Gerry and he’d got to spend the cash the following couple of managers had to spend. Dobson came in, ripped it all up, we lost those players and the rest is history. |

Martyn (Fulham away play offs first half - kept us in it)
Williams D (screamer at home against Chelsea, lost 2-1 but typical Williams all action performance at fullback in his early days)
Taylor S (kept West Ham fans annoyed by nodding away every cross …David Cross got so angry he got himself dismissed…then an exasperated hammer yelled “he’s been sent orf mate!!” As Taylor yet again foiled their air assault)
Elliott (Cheltenham away!)
Brown L (obvious)
Anderson E (obvious)
Pulis (immense when we beat Chelsea 3-0)
Jones W (such a cultured footballer - lit up many a dull game)
Mehew (scored the winner at the Old Den, cheered and then looked around checking no Millwall fan had clocked me!!)
Taylor G (2 brilliant goals against Brentford - when I got the season video I learned Andy Warren had described his best header as the goal of the century!)
Penrice (What a hit that was against Port Vale in the playoffs)
Phillips (running round the new Wembley celebrating)
Phil Roberts (think we’d have got up a couple of seasons earlier if we’d kept him)
Frankie Prince (kept George Best in his pocket for 89 minutes on Best’s Fulham debut….shame about the other minute)
Justin Channing (that goal v City at Twerton)
Lee Mansell (spared us another minute in the Vanarama)
Harold Jarman ( I was just 2 seconds off the golden goal time….if he hadn’t dummied the keeper costing those two seconds he’d have been in the first XI!!)
Devon White (scored our first ever goal at Wembley and met him at the 2nd May reunion…lovely bloke)

Anyone old enough to remember David Williams and Mike Barrett, yet not include them in your team, hang your heads in shame.
Ditto Nige and Lord Lambert.
