cuttsie 1,090 #1 Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Wednesday have had 43 players in the England team amassing 257 caps between them . But who would be the best eleven . Mine is . Springett Blenkinsop (capt) Sterland Strange Leach Marsden Waddle. Fantham. Hurst. Quixall Sewell I have seen 7 of these play and have been told about the half back line who all played at the same time. Woods was a near second to Springett but that team above had at least four Sheffield lads in it . Any adjustments thoughts any one . Due to some one being mardy on my selection of Waddle on the wing I now have to drop him even though was voted player of the year while with the Owls so Waddle is dropped and replaced by Billy Spouncer on the wing .

Thirsty Relic 213 #2 Posted October 8, 2021 I thought it was David Hirst not Hurst? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jim Hardie 527 #3 Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Waddle never won a cap in his time at Wednesday. If you’re going to include him you might as well pick Trevor Francis, Viv Anderson, and Des Walker. Correction. Des Walker did win a cap at Wednesday. Gerrim int team. Edited October 8, 2021 by Jim Hardie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

staninoodle 175 #9 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Swan has to be the best CB Wednesday ever had bar none, he could pass a ball 60 yards onto a sixpence, superb allround footballer, he was booed onto the pitch at every away ground, mark of respect in those days David Layne though similar in build to Hirst, scored his goals far quicker and all in the top division against the countrys best defenders, every club in the country was keeping tabs on him, England selectors included Edited October 9, 2021 by staninoodle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
