Thread: The Cardiff City most successful players XI (you’ve seen play for us)

    The Cardiff City most successful players XI (you’ve seen play for us)

    It’s probably been done before but worth a shot at generating a bit of alternative chat about CCFC
    No real rules other than they must have played for us after you saw your first game.....
    May not have played many games for us but had successful and renowned careers.

    That rules out Toshack for me (but not Bale obviously).

    Starters

    Goalkeeper: Schmeichel

    Defence:

    Midfield: Ramsey: Gerry Francis: Drinkwater

    Forward: Fowler, Hasselbaink: Bellamy

    Left back - Alan Wright

    Re: The Cardiff City most successful players XI (you’ve seen play for us)

    Centre Half - Kevin Ratcliffe. Won quite a bit at Everton although not a very likeable guy.

    Re: The Cardiff City most successful players XI (you’ve seen play for us)

    Mark delaney at right back, Gabbidon at Centre Back, Ginge Collins at Centre back.

    Dave Bennett on the right and his brother Gary at Central defence. Paul Bodin had a decent career after being bombed by us, via Bath City. I always thought that he was half decent for us. Left Fullback.

    Gary O’Neil
    Cracking footballer when he was here, but unfortunately never filled his potential

    When he came to us i was under the impression that he wasn't getting games, although he'd made about 80 appearances for Pompey in the Championship and a few at Premier league level already. I had him down as an inexperienced kid.

    Think it’d have to be Gabbidon and Ratcliffe at CH.

    Full backs are a challenge... I get Wright and Delaney but theirs weren’t illustrious careers

    I’m assuming 442 btw

    Isn't that exactly why he would not make the team here?

    Agree with Delaney. Medel has to be in midfield, surely? Dean Saunders should be on the list for many people too. And I might pick loovens ahead of collins.

    Maybe Mark Kennedy at full back...
    Saunders is a good shout...what about Zaha?

    Didn’t Russel Osman play for us as well?

    Had another thought on selection criteria... In today’s market assuming they were at their peak who would have commanded the highest transfer fee... almost certainly means you play Fowler, Hasselbaink, Bellamy, Ramsey, Ratcliffe and probably Saunders

    good shouts all. Osman in particular. He played for England quite a bit didn't he? Not to be sniffed at

    Id say Trevor Sinclair was more successful than Dave Bennett. Tony Vidmar maybe ahead of Collins and Gabbidon.

    Gerry Francis has to be there as he captained England. Bellamy Ramsey Fowler Jimmy Floyd without a doubt. Gary Medel as well. Saunders yeah.

    Drinkwater and Schmeichel both PL winners so id have them as well.

    Toshack did OK .

    Re: The Cardiff City most successful players XI (you’ve seen play for us)

    As a central defencive partnership... Roger Johnson and Glenn Loovens were up there for me.
    Agree with Kevin Ratcliffe and Mike England was top notch too. A giant of a bloke with a great presence albeit passed his prime when he played for us (as Ratcliffe was).
