Not as far off as you might think!

Been working hard on my Bolton XI. All these lads played from the 70s and after. A bit lopsided on the left but no matter, just lump it up to to the classy front three.

1. Jussi Jaaskelainen

2. Nicky Spooner

3. Ricardo Gardner

4. Robbie Elliott

5. Tal Ben Haim

6. Mike Bennett

7. Tony Kelly

8. Youri Djorkaeff

9. Frank Worthington

10. Nicolas Anelka

11. Alan Thompson

M. Nat Lofthouse

It was Nat or Neil Lennon for manager.

Had to settle for ex-Liverpool Tony "Zico" Kelly as my midfield maestro. Him and Nicky Spooner still at the club as youth coaches.

The latter mate.

this is a bone of contention with West Brom Fans

I think technically a full international = Viv Anderson

any level = Laurie Cunningham

Neither of those mentioned is who I'm looking for mate. He has been in the news in the last few days....in fact Google devoted their 'Home' page to him a couple of days ago. Clues: He is an ex Stoke City player...and not black.

I tried mate but it was giving me headache.  I didn't want to settle putting in a garbage player just for his initials. Like you and Rick did with Owen Hargreaves and Nigel Clough ????

Im guessing someone from Blackburn team?

Was Mark Bosnich at Man United before the prem league began? Can't remember

[champers]

Neither Neill or Bosnich. The boing boing man is running a temperature.

What about Brett Emerton, he played quite a few games for Blackburn, not sure it was back then though.
