To be fair for a northerner one whole friend is above average...

G88ner - beg to differ with a few of yours.

I thought Silvinho was a good attacking wing back, shame about his passport.

Hughes was good at first, then lost confidence.

Grimandi was a poor defender, but as a defensive midfielder he was good, no worse than Song.

Morrow was OK as a defensive midfielder. As in 5-6 out of 10 OK, but not a disaster.

How fucking dare ANYONE list The Grimster on this thread!!!

Did you not see his wonderful tackle/assault on Davids the scummer? The man single handedly stopped a scummer from scoring the first goal at the Grove. He should have a fucking statue put up there.

I always remember fondly a 1-0 win against utd, with Grimandi deputising for Vieira. He poleaxed Keane in the first few mins, and honestly scared the shit out of him, never seen Keane so quiet in a game after that.

A genuine hatchet man.

If I'm honest, in the end, my list was more a cult/favourites XI rather than a guilty pleasures XI, as yes - Silvinho was actually a very good player.

Aye, Silvinho was quality. It is a shame about his passport, but then again, legend has it that that is why Cole wasn't sold to Palace, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Hughes was an odd one. Looked really good for us, but his career disappeard through the floor after he'd left

was it injuries? if not, I'm amazed he never made a decent Premier league player for someone.

Grimandi was fairly average, but 100% heart and commitment. He was a great squad player for us. I also think his goal in that 1-0 win at home to Palace was hugely important, and one of many moments that ended with us as champions in '98.

Morrow won us a cup final, and like Linighan the same season, will always be remembered for their contributions. And broken bones (Morrow's arm, Linighan's nose!

)
