Re: Best XI

For the last ten years only:

Nash

Alexander
Lucketti (when he first joined, rather than the final games when I felt him slow)
Mawene (close with Davis, but Claude was a little too late into the side for my liking so probably hasnt had enough games to make the side)
Kidd (Good servant to the club, and we have not had many quality left backs)

Whaley (shades it from Cartwright on quality)
McKenna
Gregan
Eyres

Nugent
Fuller

A couple of the positions are controversial, and in some places we have not had anyone of real stand out quality. Apologies I can not go further back.

A bit tongue in cheek this, but having said that I am 42 and have never seen the whites in such a high position (other than very early august a few years ago). We are 1/3 of the way through the season and are second in our league, the 22nd best team in the land at the moment and long may the current bunch of players keep it up and take us to the promosed land.

Was at Carrow Road for a League Cup Tie in 1983 and witnessed Geoff Twentyman "Score the Goal of the Game" Not much consolation as we lost 6-1

Re: Best XI

Seriously
1. Carlo Nash - Quite simply the best keeper ive ever seen at PNE.
2. Graham Alaexander - Number 2 after Sir Tom IMHO.
3. Callum Davidson - When fit there arent may better left sided players in the UK
4. Paul McKenna - This guy is still doing it after 10 years and is imho the best midfielder outside the prem.
5. Mike Flynn - Undoubtedly to good for the level he played at.
6. Sam Allardyce - If you saw him in 86-87 you'd know why.
7. Brian Mooney - Enough said.
8. Gary Swann - Just look at his record. The most underrated player in PNE history IMHO.
9.Tony Ellis - The best striker Ive seen at the club.
10.Davie Nugent - Even when he's not scoring defenders are scared witless.
11.David Eyres - The best left winger we have ever had.
