That for me are players in my time supporting Town. Need to make sure that credit is given to players from previous generations like Glover and Bestall etc.

I'd be happy to contribute but can I confirm is it my 'favourite' XI (which I interpret as being my favourite players from my time watching Town) or my 'greatest' XI (which I interpret as being an all-time XI, including Glover, etc.)?

The OP mentions both and I'd just like to clarify which it should be.

I always class an all-time XI as players that I have seen. If we are going to go for the greatest Town team of all time you may well just say the team that got to the 1936 FA Cup Semi-Final OR the squad (in those days not that many players were used) that finished 5th in Division One in 1935.

With you on that one les ,although I suspect that Ivanos quality would get him in there. Surely a team that finished fifth in div one has got to be included almost en masse?

If it's greatest players I've seen then I go for
beasant McDermott or laws Futch andy Todd Gary croft in defence
Midfield Gilbert groves waters ivano
Up front mendonca and wilkinson


That leaves a lot of other old faves so the ressies would be
coyne laws handyside kev Moore Agnew
Midfield oster Richard Hughes cunnington childs
Up front Martin Pringle and Kevin drinkell
