Tom_NUFC Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Taken from another site, I'm adapting it for NUFC. You take one letter of the alphabet and use only past and present NUFC players whose surname begin with that letter to try and make the best starting XI as possible. I was thinking G would be good, what with Given in Goal. I thought of a cracking midfield of Keith Gillespie, David Ginola, Paul Gascoigne and Tony Green and Hughie Gallacher up front, then I got stuck thinking of a second striker, and the best I could come up with was Alan Gowling..... and as for the defence, Goma? Griffin? oh dear. So can anyone do better than me with 'G' or any other letter for that matter? I also thought of M - Macdonald and Milburn up front, and there's the likes of Bobby Moncur, Bobby Mitchell, Bill McCracken, but again I can only get so far.

Guest Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Shove Bracewell into centre-back (even if it's not his position) for Beherall, and Barton into midfield then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Subs could include Beasant & Bassedas, and being an optimist, Beye in at centre-back for Bracewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
