    Under rated water carrier. Hard as nails. Ball winner. Every side needs one. Him or Ray McHale.

    Don't know who's got the best side on this, but I'm loving looking at the names and remembering their performances.

    Trippier would be right back in my best 11 of what people who played for us have done in their whole career along with Drinkwater and Stones. But my best 11 for what they did for us he would be 3rd choice right back after Eaden and Hassell. In our history a midfield four of Glavin, Redders, Hignett and Hourihane would be class. But based on a whole career Drinkwater has a premier league winner would have to be in. My back 4 would probably be Barnard (Thompson back up), De Zeeuw, Taggart and Eaden. But based on a whole career Stones would have to be in there and probably Darren Moore too. As would Mido in an attacking position :D

    As I said if we all picked 3 starting 11s of our best side ever, our best side seen with our own eyes in person and our best side based on full careers of those that have represented us we'd have some people picking 33 diffferent lads :D

    I would have 100% agreed with you. But then I saw Heinz Múller

    Some great memories. It's a shame some of these players couldn't play together. It would be some team.

    You obviously never saw the likes of McCarthy,Futcher,Glavin and a fair few right backs better than Bobby play.

    Yes Trippier. hands down for me.
    Tbf though.
    Bobby would be far and away the best sub ever. (when only one was allowed) Best all round player I’ve had the pleasure to see.
    Goalie. Full back. Centre half. Midfield. Performed more than admirably in every position.
    I think he would have made a good makeshift striker based on some given that label nowadays.
