Mark Eckersall, Manchester

Goalkeeper: Stuart Coburn

Defenders: Peter Densmore, Mark Sertori, Andy Reid, Gary Scott

Midfielders: Paul Showler, Mick Carmody, Eddie Hussin, Ricky Harris

Strikers: Ken McKenna, Keith Russell




Mark says, "Keith Russell is in on the back of his early performances rather than his late ones, and just edges Colin Little out."


????

What? IS it the Keith Russell bit? I wrote that at the start of last season...maybe Col would edge him out now.

I still believe that during his loan spell from Blackpool, Keith Russell was one of the best strikers I have seen at Alty.

Bit of a shock at first glance, my memories of him twatting in 4 v Colwyn Bay are a bit sullied by how he eventually turned out.

I never know how to approach those things. I mean I always include Jackie Swindells and the likes of Jeff Johnson, John Davidson etc but I only saw them up until about 8 or 9 years old.

For the record. My modernish team would be
Coburn
Davidson (still)
Densmore
Rowlands
Reid
Daws
Harris
Craney
Showler
McKenna
Little

(1) Who is going to play at right full back in your team?!

(2) How can you possibly omit Josh Mitten?

JD is at right back (again does my memory play tricks?)

Even in fantasy land I can't afford JM in the team!

I'm afraid that the great John Davison never played at right full-back for Alty!
Left full back or left/central midfield only for him.

So, you still need a right back....
....how about Barry Crowe?!

Arggh I've now got "Ohhhh Barry Crooooowe, Barry, Barry, Barry Crooowe..." etc, in my head :(

Was the beginning of the end for Mr Crowe.

Being sung for about 20mins non stop at Moss Lane suddenly ended his Alty career.

but who was the game against ?? anyone ...
