Seems though we've had all this talk about the weaknesses of the team if you could magically make any 3 former players to return who would they be?

Kevin Poole, Rob Mckinnon and Phil Gilchrist.
...and Terry Bell...'he's here he's there, he's every f*****g where, Terry Bell, Terry Bell.... ...to the tune of the Quartermasters store.

If they played as they did when they left and not now...

Dimi
Tommy Miller (i changed my mind from Boydy )
Darren Knowles

Brian Honour, Right wing problem solved
Rob Mckinnon, Left Back
Lenny Johnrose, simpley because no one knew what he would do next even himself.

Harry Wilson, Tommy Sword and Mike Finch

John Borthwick, Russell Doig and Roy Tunks.

now you're just being silly

Darren Knowles.
Paul Cross.
Dean Emerson. (Before he broke his cheekbone and lost his bottle)


The only reason for not saying Brian Honour (when he was the greatest Pools player I've seen) is that our needs in other positions are so much greater.

Our need for full-backs is so chronic that I reckon that when I have won the Euromillions on Friday I will buy Lewington from MK Dons for Pools before I buy myself a Jag XKR.

Michael Nelson's game lst night was not helped by him having to mark three men at once- his man, McCunnie's man and McCunnie himself. In the first half McCunnie reached a height of incompetence that I haven't seen since John Borthwick played. Embarrassing.

Lewington is class, no question. Strong as an ox, great tackler and good distribution.

Tony Skedd
Gardener Speirs

Now theres a name i never thought id hear/read again

A name I was desperately trying to remember for my list!

you missed a couple of "l" s out there

He managed a team i played for when i was about 12

Pedersen
Konstantopolous
McKinnon

but i would really love Howard too

Mark Tinkler- At his best in my opinion is the player since he stopped playing we have missed the most. Not a holding midfielder or an attacking midfield player just a proper midfield player. Could tackle and do the ugly side of things but also could play also always chipped in with goals.
Dimi- See our defending and our goals against column since he left
Rob Mckinnon- One of the best players we've ever had, I have no idea how and why he stayed so long in days before we went up!

bob newton!!
billy ayre
john gollogly, just for making the best tackle i ever saw, resulting in archie stephens being stretchered off at ayresome park 86.

lets nasty it up!!!

Chip Fireball
Ripper
Chunky Monkey (just for the craik and to make the club shop sell big shirts )

Tim Sperevik
Glen Davies
David Clegg

Harper
Mckinnon
Knobbs

Stan McEwan
Tony McAndrew
John Trewick

I remember reading an article a year or two back about Tony Skedd now being a physiotherapist or something similar. It was in the Mail - it must be true.

John MacPhail
Ian Bennyworth
Rob McKinnon

Defensive problems SORTED

I can only mention players I've seen.

Dimi - goes without saying
Bryan Drysdale - left back sorted for EVER!

Those two will do. We can fabricate a right back from within the ranks.

Steven Harper
Pederson
Gordon 'boots in the bin' Watson

Excellent choices in the last two posts

I agree with PJ about Mark Tinkler, and would also choose Dimi.

I didn't see many of the players you lot have mentioned, but controversially I would say Jack Ross, if he could be magicked into a more robust and rational frame of mind. I know what you're going to say so don't bother! But he was bloody good and we need a RB

Butler, Shuker, Danns

3 wingers who couldnt cross a ball for toffee

Linighan, D
Linighan, A
Rob McKinnon

Defensive problems really sorted. And not just by booting the ball (or the opposition) as far as possible upfield.

Barry Watling.
Keith Nobbs.
Rob McKinnon.
