Joe Corrigan over Moseley any time and John Gregory over Crumplin for a start. What about Gotsmanov ? And for that matter Frank Worthington ? I could go on ......

 

[eastlondonseagull]

That was Richie Morris' choice I think.

Corrigan over Moseley?! No way!

Indeed it was.

 

[brunswick]

lol @ crumplin......anyone remember his first season?

You obviously never saw Corrigan play. Moseley made mistakes, Corrigan didn't.

Bobby Smith, Fred Binney, the list is endless.................Mullery as manager?

 

[westy]

Wilkins wouldn't make the MF, Danny Wilson?! Curbs? Both prob better players, as was Gotsmanov.

tbh i think Joe Corrigan would be equally good and possibly would shade it, I just chose mosely because he played longer and more of his career was at Brighton, whereas corrigan spent his twilght days with us. If we went 4 4 2 id drop Robinson and put in Curbishley. Out of interest 8 of those 11 were full internationals, with Corrigan it'd be 9.

 

[highway61]

Where is Nobby Horton? has to be there

 

[Wienergull]

Where is Nobby Horton? has to be there

Agreed. Gary Stevens and Johnny Byrne would also be on my list.

 

[APACHE]

Too right, Brian Horton was one of the greatest Captains and Leaders that the Albion have ever had.

 

[Monkey Man]

lol @ crumplin......anyone remember his first season?

I think about this a lot. Can't remember a player getting so much stick, and yet responding with better and better performances. It kind of makes a mockery of when people say "get off the players' backs". Crumps became a Goldstone legend. It would make a good Disney film.

 

[crasher]

I'd have Horton and Stevens instead of Curbs/Wilkins and Crumplin.

Plus Danny Wilson instead of Curbs/Wilkins now I think of it.
