All Time Non-League XI
| We asked supporters to vote on their all time best Non League Eleven. We received
an excellent response and the players are listed according to the votes they received.
I think it would be a very attacking team if it was ever used with nobody in the
midfield to do any tackling but that is because of the way the voting went. I
had thought about trying to put together a more functional team but decided that
we asked the voters to say what they felt their best X1 were and this is what
came out. The goalkeeping position was the closest with only two keepers getting
any votes and Dicko came out on top by just one vote from Billy Stewart in second
place.
The full results were:
Goalkeeper: Steve Dickinson
Defender 1: Martin Clark
Defender 2: Tim Ryan
Defender 3:Paul Futcher
Defender 4: Scott Guyett
Midfield 1: Mike Marsh
Midfield 2: David Gamble
Midfield 3: Lee Elam
Midfield 4: Carl Baker
Striker 1: Steve Haw
Striker 2: Andy Mutch
Sub GK: Billy Stewart
Sub Defender: Kevin Mooney
Sub Midfielder: Graham Barrow
Sub Striker: Terry Fearns
You can argue for days about this line up with several players who you may expect
to be in there not included. Shaun Teale, Phil
Bolland, Rob Sturgeon, Paul
Lodge, John Coleman, Gary
Cooper, Paul Moore, Paul
Evans, Andy Farley, Peter
Withers, Derek Goulding all miss out along
with many other favourites. On another day and another vote I am sure it would
work out completely differently!
