Wainy316 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I have the below picture on my wall in canvas form. I just happened to be staring at it the other night and was thinking of the first player I thought of in each shirt. Not necessarily my favourite or the best player, just whoever springs to mind first. From left to right... Row 1: Peter Withe, Dean Saunders, Dalian Atkinson, Mark Draper Row 2: Gareth Southgate, David Ginola, Darius Vassell, Thomas Hitzlsperger Row 3: Ashley Young, Darren Bent, Ashley Westwood, Ron Vlaar Row 4: Idrissa Gueye, John Terry, John McGinn, Jack Grealish Edit: I don't think Hitzlsperger even wore the shirt I envisioned him in! All part of the fun. Must have been the DWS (cows) that drew me in on him. Edited March 11, 2022 by Wainy316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probs because he might have been my favourite player at the time. Was in JA and used to watch River Plate at the time, wanted us to sign both him, and Saviola for a long time, couldn't believe it when we actually went after him. I remember being as defensive of him, with his difficult start, as I was of Gabby in the latter days, and KD at times. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we could make a really Class XI out of all the names from those generations which will be named in this thread.

Looks like you fell into the same trap as me. Hitzlsperger never wore that shirt! As I've said in my edit, I reckon it was down to the sponsor.

Villatillidie95 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The striped badge shirts remind me of JPA and J Lloyd Samuel, I remember that JPA used to always look at the ball and never the goalie when shooting. Acorns shirt reminds me mainly of Ash Young but also Gabby Genting Casinos shirt is Benteke without a doubt 32 red uncle albert adomah W88 Wesley (first home game of the promoted season when we beat everton 2-0), just have a vivid memory of him scoring a nicely placed shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not as much as McCann, for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
