| | They came through the ranks 09:57 - Apr 1 with 3241 views | terryb |  | After my posting on the Dave Clements thread, I started to think about what would have been our best side that graduated from our youth.
 
 I'm sure that age would have a lot to do with any selection, but here are my picks.
 
 Peter Hucker
 
 Dave Clement
 Alan Mcdonald
 Frank Sibley
 Ian Gillard
 
 Martyn Busby
 Gary Waddock
 Gerry Francis
 Wayne Fereday
 
 Clive Allen
 Paul Goddard
 
 Sub Mick Leach
 
 I'm sure the side would be unbalanced but it would more than hold it's place in the Premier League!
 
 I didn't see Ron Springett in his first spell with us & so I didn't consider him, but I've had to leave out players of the calibre of Hunt, the Morgans, Neal, Dawes & Langley.

 Can't think of any ex-Rangers youth player that would improve that team.

 Football clubs just aren't proper anymore.

 According to wiki you are correct dublin. I didn't know that!
 
 Ian Dawes, please step forward.

 All down to personal preference Dave, but I would take the two England internationals I named every time .

 And what about Jamaican dance hall artists such as Shabba Ranks? It's discrimination, I tell you.
