Goss got greatest ever goal he was not in the team

Again though I would have ranked his volley at leeds above the goal in Munich but I suppose the latter was more historically significant

        thought he recovered pretty well from that one though (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 19, 10:19:34
        
        Was never quite the same I don't think but also missed that England chance (NCFC) - Jim, May 19, 10:24:57

- They could have dragged Tony Powell back... excuse the pun (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, May 19, 10:01:18
- Watson, Linighan, Butterworth, Polston, Newsome? Not bad. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, May 19, 10:01:02
  - All decent enough players i agree (NCFC) - Jim, May 19, 10:05:10
    - weren't Polston and Butterworth actually a bit rubbish really (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 19, 10:07:17
      - Polston wasn't. Was a top CB. Agree that Butters was no great shakes though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 19, 10:08:17
        
        I thought both were excellent, Linighan was the best followed by Watson & Bruce. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, May 19, 10:09:28
        
        Watson and Bruce were the best two (as their subsequent careers prove) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 19, 10:14:28
        
        agree re Linighan. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 19, 10:10:44
- Roberts, greatest technical striker we've had? (NCFC) - megson, May 19, 10:01:00
- The greatest ever line-up, for those who missed it: (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 19, 10:00:51
  - i would not have Bruce at all (NCFC) - south, May 19, 10:07:36
  - that's a handy team. (NCFC) - megson, May 19, 10:03:14
    - In reality... (NCFC) - Alan, May 19, 10:09:34
    - ha ha. Not a midfield that's gonna do much tackling. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 19, 10:05:32
      - Don't need to tackle when the opposition can't get the ball! (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 19, 10:06:52
        
        Exactly, and we've got 2 CB's more than happy to put the boot in! (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, May 19, 10:08:53
        
        And Bowen to score 7 a season from Crooks chips over the top! (NCFC) - Jim, May 19, 10:10:21
        
        yup, we were very lucky with bowen and Culvers. Quality fullbacks. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, May 19, 10:53:08
