Alcohol has a lot to answer for. I might post a revised (sober) version in the morning

Badger for Baldock and defo Whitehouse over Salmons. Kelly over Henderson. Otherwise my team would reflect yours.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Did no one see Alan Hodgkinson?

 

[8lade]

Did no one see Alan Hodgkinson?

Most of us aren't old enough, I'm mid 50s and not old enough!

 

[Booker4]

Favourite definitely different to best and formation always causes issues:

Favourite 4.4.2

1 Kelly
2 Borbokis
3 Stevens
4 Fleck
5 Holdsworth
6 Egan
7 Devlin
8 Patterson
9 Sharp
10 Deane
11 Whitehouse

Best staying as 4.4.2 -

1 Hendo
2 Baldock
3 Stevens
4 Fleck
5 Egan
6 O'Connell
7 Devlin
8 Brown
9 Beattie
10 Deane
11 Whitehouse

Its difficult with the current team to pick a 4.4.2 but overall we've generally played 4.4.2 in my time following the Blades.

 

[Gimli]

Kelly
Baldock
Jags
McGrath
O’Connell
Stevens
Fleck
Brown
Whitehouse
Deane
Sharp

Formation 3-5-2 although that does mean Whitehouse has been somewhat shoehorned into LCM and Fleck moves into RCM - not ideal but couldn’t leave either out.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

I'm 57 and just old enough

Struggled on strikers for bench but shocked not seen Walker mentioned.

 

[Silent Blade]

Saw him in his last year. My dad was a big fan of his but in 1970 , he thought we needed a new keeper.

Kelly

when you look at picking 3 of the best central defenders over the time I've been watching (since 1973), it's very difficult not to include all of our current "wall". Honourable mentions for Stan and Morgs.

Subs:
Tracey

Feel bad that I've not included Brown, Egan, Coutts, Kelly, Maguire, Whitehouse and Agana

Too young to see the early/mid 70's team so this is mostly premier league players

 

[MoscowBlade]

Did no one see Alan Hodgkinson?

I am 67 and most certainly did! My hero.........)
