Guinness Soccer Six - who would be in your all time team?

[DanC]

In our latest episode we meet the lovely Paul Swannack, our matchwinner from the 1986 all-conquering OUFC six-a-side team who took on strong teams from Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal, and emerged victorious. See the faintly ridiculous spectacle of our prized assets being risked before a big game to win an indoor tournament here.



But we also make our own all-time six-a-side teams... can you beat mine? Jamie Cumming, Rob Atkinson, Sam Long, Bobby Ford, Joey Beauchamp, John Aldridge.

So confident in your 6-a-side team you've even decided to only play 5 players to give everyone else a chance

Mike Salmon
Ben Futcher
Lee Jarman
Peter Fear
Eddie Hutchinson
Kevin Francis

Most people will pick small, quick, skilful teams so I am hoping mine would be such an outlier that it would be unplayable against.

 

[SteMerritt]

For 6-a-side I think you have to go Keeper, 2 defenders, 2 midfield, and a striker.

Phil Whitehead
Matt Elliott, Phil Gilchrist
Joey Beauchamp, Kemar Roofe
John Aldridge

Les Phillips on the bench to bring on a bit of psycho if needed.

6 a side goals you could put Jarman a keeper. All you've got to do is wedge him in the goal mouth and nobody is scoring.

We should have tried that with him and McGuckin, can't have gone any worse than it did.

Only problem would be the head height rule, half that lot wouldn't be able to get the ball off the ground...

Sign Akinfenwa on loan and you can defend the box as well.

Surely Ray Houghton is the first on the team sheet, the man went on to win two first division titles with Liverpool and scored a goal at a world cup finals Vs Italy.

Are the goals smaller in this six a side competition? If so I would put Paul Reece in goal as he was an excellent shot stop stopper and quick off his line but a midget in full size goals.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Not a single mention of Steve Basham in this thread. Ridiculous.

Well the team will need a minibus driver I guess.
