My 11:

Keeper: Gunn
Full-backs: Ashman & Bowen
Centre-backs: Forbes & Butterworth
Midfielders: Peters & Crook
Wingers: Gavin & Huckerby
Forwards: Allcock & Sutton
Manager: David Stringer

I've tried to reflect my own memories (I'm 28 so have little first-hand knowledge of any pre-'88 players) and club history.
