Pick your Blades XI (only players you've seen play for us)

[Webding]

The Tufty Club one was:

Kelly

Walker
Jagielka
O’Connell
Stevens

Ndlovu
Brown
Fleck
Whitehouse

Deane
Beattie

The only real disagreements between the three of us were that I wanted Tracey over Kelly, and DB wanted Sharp instead of Beattie (which I might start to agree with now). Right wing we struggled with- not had much consistent quality there over the past 30-odd years.

Full reasoning/debate/argument in the three-part playlist below.



We also ran some polls on Twitter where everyone agreed with DB that me and AW were talking rubbish.

This current team dominates, the standard is just incredible. We were in touching distance of the Champions League for God's sake. Have to go with the current formation & tactics too.

I'm purposefully avoiding players pre-2000 as I would have only been at primary school age.
