Greatest Ever United XI

[JamesMcClean]

Well seeing as we’ve nothing else to do, thought I’d formulate something as it says on the tin. It’s not a competition and it’s always good to see different perspectives, particularly from those who have supported the longest and seen the greater number of players. FWIW, this is mine,

Thomson (Sorry Hamish)

Gough Hegarty Narey Malpas

Milne McKinlay Armstrong Bannon

Sturrock Gray


Billy Thomson I just felt was a better overall keeper but does not detract from Hamish’s legendary status. Back four frankly picks itself. Midfield aside from the obvious title winners, McKinlay can add the bit of dig Kirkwood brought but with added actual playing ability, while Stuart Armstrong genuinely is one of our best ever and surrounded by this level of quality would be sensational. Luggy again simply cannot not be in there but I’ve gone for Andy Gray alongside, rather than obvious candidates such as the Dodds’s (Davie and Billy), Kjell or even Sir Lawrence. Although Davie Dodds scored more than his fair share, with the chances that the likes of Luggy, Ralphie and Bannon set up, Andy Gray would have been frighteningly unstoppable.

Any other suggestions?

Can't argue with much of that team. Sieb over Billy? Always liked Gary-Mackay Steven too - better than Badger? Showing my age here but I remember Kenny Cameron banging in a lot of goals when when I was very young?

Wouldn't be near the eleven as never played long enough for us but siggi jonsson was probably one of the best footballers to play for us.

Billy def the keeper - but loved Hamish despite his comedy attempts at crosses. David Mccracken is one of my most hated united players ever.
