by Staboblade (U8480040) 05 October 2007
comment on the article

I've been putting together the best Blades team,going back to the Porterfield revival season of 1981/82 to the present day as voted by you the fans.Must be a 4-4-2 formation and the most named player for each position wins the shirt.Plus 5 subs. I'll then collate a complete all star Squad of players.

I've given a first team player 2pts a vote and a sub player 1pt a vote.
At present a player has to gain 3pts or more to make the squad,
but as votes come in this will change.

Here's the All star team/squad as it stands 18/10/07, so far.Any one wishing to join in is very welcome,please give your selections below.

The squad is to be used on "The Crossed Blades" web site as part of future development.

It's a tough one. Gone for more than just pure ability (for example, I went with hodges over Beagrie in the end as if it got nasty Hodges could definitely look after himself).

GK Alan Kelly
RB Derek Geary
LB Gary Ablett
CB Paul McGrath
CB David Holdsworth
LM Glyn Hodges
CM Gordon Cowans
CM Michael Brown
RM Colin Morris
FW Brian Deane
FW Keith Edwards

SUBS:
Simon Tracey
Phil Jagielka
Peter Beagrie
Graham Stuart
Tony Agana

and an honourable mention for Mel Rees who could have been the keeper if he had been able to play more games.

Stabo,

I've put you a page up on the website. It's only temporary for now until I can get round to doing what we discussed, but at least there's a page there now.
