Got to go with Merstham/bedfont green

[johnnojudo]

Afc Wimbledon were an exceptional case so for me they cant be included.

 

I dont think any other team stood out in particular. All had similar qualities and a healthy budget which I feel is key.

[newby marvel]

ill include div one as only just in prem

 

id say warlingham when spy an kendo (Rip) were there they had everything could play , mix it if they had to an desire they would never give up! id put the lammas team when we won it the first time but ill look a little bias so ill just quietly mention it lol

[Brunty.]

id say you couldn't see past guernsey but I only played last few seasons

 

Lets say apart from AFC W and Guernsey as were both exceptions

Cove side of 2000/2001 under beeks/mepham was a very good side.

 

Double winners and great run in vase, along with good run in the fa cup.

[newby marvel]

id still stick with what i said an ive played against both!!

[Brunty.]

i played in that cove side cookie towards the end of the season as a 15-16 year old coming up from the youth under titch great team!! mancy up top was different gear!

I was playing as well, mancy was different class, to be fair the team we had, I remember being 3-0 at half time and we weren't worried, came out 2nd half an won the game

Shame promotion didn't happen as most players left soon after

[inbetweener]

was that ian mancey?

[Brunty.]

yep

[inbetweener]

Must of left for money

Merstham/Bedfont Green.

 

I will go back a bit to Ryamn 2. Full of Essex kick and rush teams who would bully and win it every year. until Brook House came along and played the best football I had ever seen at that level. So i would put them in the mix with those 2 as well.

that was a very good side kendo and graham had I was 16 and in the reserves and managed to get 1or 2 appearances for that side very good team morale they had a shame they couldn't go up as never had the ground grading

[ellers]

I think the Guildford side two years ago was very good, and in Div 1 I'd say the Warlingham side too!

[VPCTFC]

Since we joined the league it's Merstham in 2008 for me. They only let in 21 goals all season. I still think they're the best side I've seen in the CCL - better than Guernsey.

As part of that merstham team I will have to be biased and say that team must be up there. Some quality players who have since played at Ryman prem plus the management team of Sullivan, strats and Rhys Williams best I've played under!

 

Can't think of a team I have seen over last 4 5 years that would beat that team.

Very very good side felt that most teams were beat before they crossed the white line though, remember most of the side 2 twins full backs, vernon and boulter, the two wingers always scored goals left winger was unreal and the 2 Strikers bagged loads of goals only players that I can remember we're the 2 centre mids
