Where is Chris senior ?  8)

He's the ultimate magic sponge man for the team isn't he?


PS. With Rod Thornley to be the masseur! 😉

I am sure we have done this recently but I have to amend it because Colclough is that good and will battle it out with Ellison.

Coburn

Densmore
Danny Adams
Shotton
Hannigan

Ellison or Colclough
Watmore
Craney
Daws or Harris

Little
McKenna

Subs Reeves, Showler, Leather, Moult, Cross & Ellender

I also loved Keith Russell, some finisher but going more on appearances.

The reason I went Craney is because he was in the poorest Alty team and was basically a one man team with his performances each week.

No mention of the late great Jackie Swindells ... Surprising.

I would have gone for Peter Frankish between the sticks.

PS. That is if our northern Irish international Bobby Irvine is unavailable.
I seem to recall Freddie Pye saying in the Robins Review something like "he will never make such mistakes in an altrincham Jersey again. His contract has been cancelled" after his last stand out performance.

What I find great about this thread is how you can get an idea of the age of the posters by the choices they've made! 😂😂😂

Alty mascot in the pre WW2 days. Apparently buried somewhere near the corner of the golf road and pop side.

Hope they don't dig him up when they lay the new pitch!
(if they haven't already!)

Maybe he's the cause of the waterlogging problems in that area of the pitch 🐐

Poor old Jeb will be well rotted down by now.

Does anybody have photos of Jeb, preferably when s/he was alive?
