Drunk but lazy HG inspired thread - what was your favourite team. Not the best - the one you have the fondest memories of
I was always told to cite my sources. So to be fair, I'm just creating the HG vision as best I canJust so we’re clear....
I can site three runs (or journeys)
The Bassett time.. began with the six one defeat of Chester in 1988, reached its peak with the Quarter final replay win over Blackburn in 1993. Then the slow slide and decline..
The Warnock time... began with the League cup win over Leeds in 2002, reached it’s peak with the Premier League win over Arsenal in December 2006.. then the rapid slide and decline...
The Wilder time.. began with the 4-1 win at Chesterfield in 2016, ... did it reach its peak with the 4-1 defeat of Villa in September 2018..??
To be continued....

A fair question. That XI is a special team for me because they played together for several seasons almost unchanged. Right-wing was the main exception, with Ringstead at the end of his career followed by Lewis who was sold to Liverpool and eventually replaced by Allchurch. I guess that Lewis was the one who played most matches with that group. The other 2 were fine wingers, my main memory of Ringstead being his headed first-half hat-trick at the Bramall Lane end, v Scunthorpe in 1958.Any place for Ireland's best, Alfie Ringstead??

Richardson was a defensive mid-fielder, Summers focussed more on bringing the ball out and passing it on to the left-winger. In your line-up, which is impressive, Richardson could have been protecting the back 4, a role which hadn't been invented at the time. He was the kind of player you didn't notice much, but he did a lot of covering for Coldwell and Joe Shaw (the only central defender), and occasionally 'took one for the team'.The best of 61 & 71

Blades fans from that era would Richardson have been classed as a defensive midfield player in 4-4-2 or would that have been Summers?
So anything pre 1960s is ok then for Alf Ringstead.left us in 1959
