Yes for Southall, no for James, because James wouldn't do the tackling back that Young did...and he did a fair bit in that game helping out both Wright and Wilson.
Plus scored a goal James would be proud to score, all this at the arse end of his career.

Not a huge fan of Young. Recognise his strengths but feel his weaknesses partly explain why we didn't win much more in the 60's.

 

[irishtony1878]

Southall
Stevens Labby Ratcliffe Wilson
Kanchelskis Ball Kendall Sheedy
Lukaku Sharp

Subs : Martyn, Harvey, Reid, Watson, Latchford

they would win everything, every year.
probably about 20 i can't even remember as well

Considering that the OP has put James in the same team as Lescott I've assumed it's the latter. His thread, his rules.

Maybe his rules, but I bet it won't stop the "comedians" naming players like Brett Angel and Mitch Ward

I think those 2 will make the worst team for sure lol

Roy Vernon was more consistent imo - I have never been to a game where the GV was idolised as much as he was - he admitted himself he was inconsistent or just brilliant .... maybe he was so different to a traditional no 9 - he glided over the mud on his day - his skill levels were so high - plus his ability to hang in the air & get up so high etc....
I have seen him with Bally when Bally first came what a delight they both were,,,, The GV was ending his career, but those two together wow.....

 

[peteblue]

West
Wright Labone Hurst Brown
Ball Harvey Kendall
Husband Royle Morrissey

Remove Brown and insert Wilson....

James might already be in there after just 6 games. What a man.

If able to combine players from different eras, the only change to the best “team” I have been lucky enough to see would be to put Big Nev into the 69-70 title winning team! Gordon West was a really good keeper, but Nev was the best goalie in the world at his peak!

So my best line up would be the 69-70 team with Big Nev in, then the second best line up would be the 84-85 title winning team!

Two great line ups, but two very different teams in the way they went about their business!

 

[Acrobat]

Southall
Stevens
Van Den Hauwe
Ratcliffe
Mountfield
Reid
Bracewell
Steven
Heath
Sharp
Sheedy

Heath was a much better player than Gray.....however, Gray was fantastic for us. And I also procrastinated between Mountfield and Watson.

Southall

Cup winners cup finalists had everything.
But I still say the best forward I ever saw was Lineker.
I know we finished runners up in two competitions with him but for finishing alone he was superb
