On a similar theme to KingsburyR's - name your all time favourite 11 players (in a team structure). Players that you would /did love to watch. The only caveat is that they wouldn't make your all time best XI.
Off the top of my head mine would be:-
1. Paddy Kenny
2. David Bardsley
3. Gino Padula
4. Glenn Roeder
5. Bob Hazell
6. Dan Shittu
7. Andy Impey
8. Akos Buzsaky
9. Simon Stainrod
10. Rodney Marsh (slight cheat code here as I would have Stan as No. 10 in all time XI)!
11. Lee Cook |  | | |  |

Stejskal - Quality keeper. Massively under rated
Bardsley
Parker
Peacock
Clive Wilson
Sinclair
Wilkins
Tarrabt
Sinton
Ferdinand
Helguson
Never saw Bowles or Marsh play
No Pattern of play (like Ainsworth)
No ball winners
But that lot would play you off the park
Good luck to any CB's when a cross was floated into the back post! |  |

Absolutely true, but I had to find somewhere for Mick Leach after replacing him!
Edit: I've just realised that it was Brian who had 12 players without naming one as sub! [Post edited 19 Oct 2023 16:59]

i wouldn't shame you for picking a sub! I'm not that horrible! :) |  |

Can’t believe those in the thread who haven’t picked Adel. Ability wise he is the most talented footballer the club has ever had. Was the key piece in the best season for a generation. Scored an absolute highlight reel on the list of all time great goals, nutmegged more players than probably anyone, and with that outside of the boot pass to Routledge, made the greatest ever pass seen in a Rangers shirt
How he can’t be on your favourite player list I struggle to comprehend
Nutmegs I prefer ;) [Post edited 20 Oct 2023 16:09]

Nobody said the team had to be balanced.
After all, none of our recent managers have had that as a consideration! | | | |

Not as good as Rodney IMHO - though I am of a certain age!!!
Also, having Adel & Rodney in the same team would be a bit like when Fulham had Marsh & Best and they started tackling each other! They'd need a ball each  [Post edited 20 Oct 2023 18:57]

Gonna show my workings, as not a lot in the two teams, and only players I've seen. Be a great match between them (quite a lot of glum faces on the bench - but what a squad):
Both 4231, which leaves us open but allows more than one number ten:
Best:
Seaman
Clement Parker, McDonald, Gillard
Francis (G) Wilkins
Bowles Wegerle Thomas
Ferdinand
Likeable:
Stejskal
Bardsley Peacock Maddix Wilson
Masson Waddock
Taarabt Gallen Eze
C Allen
Fenwick's unlucky not to be in the second team as a better player, but he never seemed that likeable. | | | |

Fair enough on Marsh… as in I can’t comment. Do remember being at player of the season doo at a hotel by Heathrow the year when our dinosaur fan base gave it to Kenny over Adel which sums up the posters above who have irked me. Anyway at that do was having a fag out front as Marsh left with two birds young enough to be his kids… maybe they were though ha
All I have seen of Bowles was YouTube clips. Remember watching his top 10 goals for Rangers on there and it’s actually kind of laughable. Adel is just on another planet to Bowles simple as. Anyone who wants to say otherwise try and do that by comparing a Bowles best goal against an Adel best goal [Post edited 21 Oct 2023 1:04]

The initial post says favourite, so it's time and a place.
I was just about old and lucky enough to see Rodney, and have no doubt he was the focal point that helped put our club on the map.
From then on, we moved up to what these days would be stellar, all great, Dave Thomas was my hero, Parkes, Clement, Francis, Bowles, not bad, in fact all brilliant.
Then Allen, Stainrod, Gregory, haircuts and swagger, most of all, Terry Fenwick, that man put a shift in every week.
Macca, Maddix, Bannister then Parker to Wegerle and Les with Sinton, Wilkins and the two best full backs in the league, Bardsley and Wilson.
Decline and rebirth, players who put a shift in with a modicum of flair, Padula, Furlong, and grafters/supporters like Bircham and Gallen etc
Then of course to Adel, a ridiculous talent, bettered only by Ale Faurlin, pre-injury, as good as we've had in the middle of the park ever.
Charlie, of course, did us proud but apart from when Willock's hammies naused his career, little else.
Parkes
Clement
Wilson
Wicks
Fenwick
Francis
Faurlin
Thomas
Marsh
Bowles
Taarabt
I'm doubtful if this Ego XI would get on, but when it did........... |  | | |

It would be like the aftermath of an earthquake by the final whistle. Bodies everywhere. Aid agencies treating the wounded. Survivors huddled together for warmth in the away goalmouth.
Glorious. |  |

Different times, I can imagine Bowles on a pitch like a billiard table not a ploughed field, getting the sort of protection from refs he could only have dreamed of!
Having said that Adel was a unique talent but was allowed to flourish because of the hard work of the unsung hero’s around him.
Mind you, this thread is about favourite not best XI and therefore neither would get in! | | | |
