From all of these great suggestions I have tried to put together a suitable eleven that I think would give many an opposition team plenty to think about. They would also give the faithful moaners and groaners something to really get their teeth into! :lol:
Full backs - Kevin Hodges & Tony Capaldi
Central defence - Paul Wotton & George Foster
Midfield - Stevie Adams, Martin Barlow & Conor Hourihane
Up Front - Reuben Reid, Mickey Evans & Brian Johnson
You may be wondering about the keeper and, to be honest, so am I. No one has yet suggested a 'Marmite' player between the sticks and I am scratching my head to think of one that falls within that category. In my time of watching Argyle I think that we have been pretty lucky to have had predominantly good goalkeepers, and I can't remember one who divided opinion too much. Yes, there have been short-lived disappointments in that position (last season tends to spring to mind ) but, for me, memories of the likes of Pat Dunne, Jim Furnell, Romain Larieu and Super Luke tend to prevail.
'Marmite' goalkeepers, anyone?
No, not really. Opinion tends to be pretty unanimous with regard to keepers.
One candidate though might be Neil Ramsbottom, who everyone I knew thought
was rubbish, but somehow managed to win the player of the year award. I did hear
later that there'd been some ballot box stuffing; anyone remeber the case ?
