He was never a pro first time round so doesn’t really count.

Crazy to think the age of that team and 4 of them are still regulars

James, Kindon, Dobson, Flynn all get in - would think Derrick Parker would struggle to make the bench.

Here’s my effort- thoughts?

Manager: Harry Potts

(GK) Colin MacDonald

(RB) Phil Bardsley
(CB) Vince Overson
(CB) Steve Davis (Mk II)
(LB) Joe Jakub

(RW) Willie Morgan
(CM) Martin Dobson
(CM) Brian Flynn
(LW) Leighton James

(ST) Adrian Heath
(ST) Jay Rodriguez

Subs:

Lee Grant
Steve Kindon
Peter Swan
Joey Barton
Aaron Lennon
Robbie Blake
Ade Akinbiyi

The hardest position to fill was LB- there’s been surprisingly few players who played that position and had two spells with us; hence playing Jakub there…

So many of them but you will need to put Grant in goal, McDonald was only here the once.

1948-1950 (zero appearances though)
1951-1961

Who would you go for at LB then?

I can't think of anyone to fit other than Joe Jakub at left back
