Its very interesting to compare our current squad against our promotion topping team of the 89-90 season. You can draw your own conclusions. The 89-90 team GOALKEEPERS Mervyn Day Ronnie Sinclair --->transferred during season DEFENDERS Peter Haddock Neil Aspin --->transferred during season David Rennie --->transferred during season John Stiles --->transferred during season Gary Williams --->transferred during season Mel Sterland Mike Whitlow Chris Fairclough <---transferred in during season John McClelland <transferred in during season Jim Beglin Noel Blake --->transferred during season MIDFIELDERS John Sheridan --->transferred during season Mark Aizlewood --->transferred during season Glynn Snodin David Batty Gary Speed Vinnie Jones Gordon Strachan John Hendry <---transferred in during season Mickey Thomas <---transferred in during season Chris Kamara <---transferred in during season Vince Hilliare --->transferred during season Forwards John Pearson Carl Shutt Ian Baird --->transferred during season Kevin Noteman --->transferred during season Peter Mumby --->transferred during season Lee Chapman <---transferred in during season Imre Varadi <---transferred in during season Bobby Davison And now for this seasons team GOALKEEPERS Casper Schmeichel --->transferred during season Andy Lonergan <---transferred in during season Paul Rachubka <---transferred in during season DEFENDERS Paul Connelly Patrick Kisnorbo Alex Bruce Darren O'Dea <---loan Andy O'Brien Ben Parker Tom Lees Leigh Bromby Ben Parker Aiden White Andy O'Brien MIDFIELDERS LLoyd Sam Jonathan Howson Adam Clayton Danny Pugh <---loan Michael Bown <---transferred in during season Mika Veyrynen <-- transferred in during season Ramon Nunez Max Gradel --->transferred during season Robert Snodgrass FORWARDS Luciano Becchio Billy Paynter Ross McCormack Andy Keough <---loan David Somma Mikael Forsell <---transferred in during season
We have one of the worst disciplinery records in the Championship, imagine if we had David Batty, Ian Baird, Vince Hilliare, Chris Kamara, Mickey Thomas, Vinney Jones and Noel Blake all playing in todays game, it would be a bloodbath...
Take no notice on the other one Elland. They can be snobby ****s at times. If its not a bun fight over who loves bates and who doesnt they arent ****ing happy.
