Best ever ESL XI...?

[Golden Boots]

Maybe combining some old posts, but anyhow...

 

Bit of fun on a Friday...

 

In a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation, lets have your best ESL XI of all time, and dont forget to include a Manager...

[Jenko]

Defo me as coach, waterboy, teaman and general dogsbody!

[coupwotcoup]

hard one to call.. we all come from differing eras ESL-wise.. The Romford team of 95-6 was awesome, but go back to the 70s and Billericay and Basildon ruled the roost as did Heybridge in the 80s.

[The Great Eckscape]

Andy Jones has got to be in there, great goalscorer for Canvey upfront.

[Golden Boots]

Not a bad shout Syd...

[YIDARMY]

Golden boots there is only 1 Real ESL legend and that's the great man Onebreast.

 

so give me 11 of him any day

[syd_lexic]

I could have included Alan Brazil & Jimmy Prue when they were at Stambridge in that xl as well, but as they gave me the runaround in a game about 20 yrs ago i though bollox to 'em !!!

[Golden Boots]

hahaha, love that...

 

So the ones above are legends that you've bossed, and obviously ex-team mates...?

 

Britnell's son is with us at Concord now, played 4 or 5 games for the reserves, looks a great prospect...!

[syd_lexic]

no not really, only played with Merce, Brit & Terry Archer. The others I've either played against or coached sides against. Healesey's Old man would have been a good shout too !

[Golden Boots]

That is a great shout, makes you wonder what a Healsey father and son striking partnership would have been like with both of them in their prime...?

[Groyney]

No room for Jimmy Greaves?
