Snowblind 1,711 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Hey There You Crazy Cats & Kittens! (Soz...) The team over at Super 6 have been running public polls to find the Premiership's Greatest Squad, with fans voting based on the best player to take each squad number 1-18. Thought, in this time of unprecidented boredom, I'd run the Boro Edition here! We, however, will do 1-23 to make up a whole squad, and in order to incorporate one or two Boro legends who would've otherwise missed out. You have until midday the following day to cast your vote, with the next squad number being released at 3pm each day. NOTE: Some players had multiple squad numbers in their time at Boro. If they don't win their first vote, but I consider them among the Top 4 for their other number, I'll include them again to make sure we have the strongest options possible. They don't have to be solely judged on their time wearing that number. ALSO NOTE: Starting from 95/96, and only allowing official squad numbers. ADMIN: I realise this would take up loads of space on the forum, so feel free to archive votes after they're completed. So, the beginning is above. An easy start really... Who do you want wearing the Number 1 jersey? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Great idea, Snowblind. Will be interesting to see what we end up with. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) My first choice is pre 1995, my second choice wore the number 26 shirt, so I’ll go with my third choice, the Big Aussie, even though he couldn’t kick a ball in a straight line to save his life. He certainly kept us on our toes with some Dimi level howlers over the years! Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Spraggon too - a great football man with a permeant smile on his face while coaching. EDIT: Had a mental breakdown about who was 26... Valdes. Obviously.

It’s funny how few of our best keepers have actually worn the number 1 shirt. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Good idea snowblind. Should be interesting to see what team we come up with at the end Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Easily Schwarzer for me, Jim Platt was before my time and apart from Pears no one comes close to the big Aussie in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting seeing what squad number we've had so much talent use, and other numbers you'd expect to be laden are quite lacking in depth! Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Out of those 4, Schwarzer easily. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Without wanting to sound like a misery it's not exactly the greatest Boro squad if we're only going back to 1995! *I know you probably need a cut off point somewhere though * 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He'd left Boro before I was born, but watching it all back shows how important and talented he was. Loves the Boro too. Legend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
