Some surprises in that team maybe. IMO The one that sticks out being Tony Dunne at LB. Saw him many times. Short 5ft 6in (1,68m) and very quick. As good has he was he doesn’t make my eleven. Irwin played on the left flank but because we have a shortage of world class players at RB then I´ll go along with Robbo`s choice. Apparently Irwin was that good he could play on the right.
Duncan Edwards is the only player I haven´t seen play. I was only 5yrs old when he died at the age of 21. However for someone to make his England debut aged 16, I´ll go along with Robbo and my late father (who adored him) and automatically pick him.
The only change I would make to that team would be to stick Evra in at LB instead of Dunne, otherwise I’m happy with the rest. Some unbelievable players are left out of that team but I can see where Robbo’s coming from with that choice. BTW he didn’t pick himself as he’s opted for the manager role.
Definately a good balance in that team 5 from the Busby era and 6 who played under SAF.
Some team that is!
Anyone agree?
