Best Team Ever?

[maccawozzagod]

Contentious issue, what's the greatest team Stanley could assemble over the past twenty years. Pound for pound this is mine.

1 Rob Molloy, safe hands big dominating keeper, absolute cracker until knee injury set him back
2 Peter Cavanagh, surely, and considering his age, one of the most decorated Stanley captains ever. Composed, assured and weighs in goals now and again
3 Stuart Lampkin, steady and reliable, got forward well and had a sweet left foot on free kicks. Benefits from having played with one of the best defences we have had (pound for pound remember)
4 Eddie Johnstone, The man
5 Stuart Owen, The other man
6 Mark Brennan, midfield enforcer and part of the Coleman revolution. 100% effort guaranteed. Missed a lot of Brenno's time so based on reputation and hearsay
7 Chris Grimshaw part 1. In his younger days he had the stereotypical flowing locks and shifted up and down the winger like greased doo-dah. Enjoyed the craic more than any other player in Stanley history, and that is surely why he was not a success in upper echelons. AND an Accy lad.
8 Mike Marsh, Other players may deserve their place more for longer service etc but he is in simply for what he gave to the Unibond winning team in confidence and swagger. The most gifted player ever to wear the Red Crest.
9 Brett Ormerod, Not here for too long as he went upwards and onwards. 100% runner and grafter, good finisher and deserved his Premiership shot. Still chasing lost causes in the Championship.
10 Paul Beck, long service, many goals, FA Cup hat-tricks. big hair no hair, big tache no tache, worse tache than Bernie Hughes, can keep goal if Molloys knee fails. Claims corners when HE IS THE GOALKEEPER and has made a save.
11 Ashley Hoskin, 2'2" eyes are blue, Phil Collins doppelganger was Grimmy's sidekick and the pair of them in full flow against the might of Matlock et al was an awesome sight.

Special Commendation:
Paul Mullen, unlucky to be up against a legend for the 10 shirt. A couple more seasons and another 50 goals and the debate will be hot.

Can you do any better. No right or wrong opinions on this subject.
P.S. Carl Conlon is barred

Sorry if I appear to oversimplify matters, but the Best Team Ever is the present one.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
