Leaving aside the debate over the greatest ever event
what does anyone think of the team that emerged?
My overriding thoughts are:
1. We haven't had very many good centrebacks in our time; and
2. Whilst Iwan is a great bloke and an NCFC legend I cannot believe there were not better options for that second strikers berth!
I guess it is a result of the voting age of the people who voted. That midfield is quality though!
