5.
Right wing-back: PHIL ANDERSON: “Quick & always capable of creating danger down the right with his overlapping runs. Phil was so good at getting up & down Eye United often wouldn’t have to play with a right sided midfielder. Tough tackling with great distribution.”
6.
Left wing-back: SIMON ACTON: “Good enough to play up front, but I’ve gone for ‘Acco’ as a marauding left-sided wing back. He is probably the most unselfish player I’ve played with & would always pick a pass if that was the better option. Lightning quick, great stamina, a wand of a left foot & a great finisher.”
7.
Right midfield: DARREN PALING: “A tough choice here between the Darrens (Paling & Bradley). I’ve gone with Mr Paling as I played for/against him more times. A very creative midfielder (whose brothers could also play a bit) who would get up & down the pitch scoring goals at one end & then getting in vital tackles at the other. Led by example, hated losing & would be another leader for me on the pitch.”

Centre midfield: NIGEL STEADMAN: “Nigel would be my first pick. ‘Skeg’ was the best player I had the privilege to play alongside. Box to box, with great vision & a knack of chipping in with important goals & assists. He had everything that you wanted in a midfielder. Played for the Moulton Harrox side that went through the season undefeated (but didn’t win the league). Towards the end of every season he would need painkillers & his Ralgex stick to get him on the pitch, after months of the opposition trying to kick him off it!”
