Wolves all time XI - One player per country

Based only on players I've seen in person.

GK: Hahnemann
RB: Muscat
CB: Boly
CB: Lescott
CB: Saiss
LB: Ward
CM: N'Diyae
CM: Moutinho
FW: Sako
ST: Jiminez
FW: Traore

I'd fancy that team to stay up.
 
Hahnemann (USA)

Jonny (Spain)
Saiss (Morocco)
Berra (Scotland)
Boly (France)
Doherty (Ireland)

Moutinho (Portugal)
Milijas (Serbia)
Dendoncker (Belgium)

Bull (England)
Jiminez (Mexico)

Absolute Zero pace in that midfield
 
As I remember, Les Wilson was a utility player who either played at right-back or in midfield. He was disciplined but not the world's most exciting player. He competed for right back with Jerry Taylor and played a good few games. The change of him getting picked once we'd splashed out £80,000 on Derek Parkin was pretty slim. I think he only played in midfield after Parkin's arrival.

One of his most memorable games was man marking George Best in a famous 1-0 home defeat. It must have been one of the first times an English team had employed such a tactic as there was an article about it in the next day's Sunday Times.

Remember him as a left back rather than right, but you are correct, he didn't get much of a look in after we signed Parkin
 
In my life time

Williams (Scotland)

Boly (France) De Wolf (Holland) Saiss (Morocco)

Docherty (Eire) Robinson (Wales) Moutinho (Portugal) Stuart (South Africa)

Traore (Spain) Jiminez (Mexico) Bully (Another Planet)
 
I'm just enjoying Hahnemann being mentioned so much.
 
Nobody said had to be best X1

Lange
Bjorklund Herbert Okoronkwo
Niestroj Sanjaun Gibson Al-Jaber
Roussel Flo Frankowski
 
Williams (Scotland).......... Am I thinking of somebody else ?

Evan Williams - definitely Scottish, despite the Welsh name. One of the few Wolves players I have met personally. Signed from Celtic, played late 60s/early 70s, though I don't remember being a regular at any point.

I'm surprised you didnt manage to get Rafael Vililazan in there!

Oh just Googled 13 appearances in 3 years no wonder it didn't ring a bell( the last year '69 on loan at Villa) It were going to be this vague why not pick big Shaka with his one guest appearance there's Trinidad covered :)
 
Slater as a left half

quietly impressed.

Really impressed he has Slater.

Sorry though Bert William's the keeper Banks described as the best he had seen has to be in goal.

This will take some thinking Definately Munro for the Scot
Welsh is somewhat harder
Northern Irish is easy, Doog
Dutch, De Wolf , need to check some nationalities
Boly as French
Mouts for.Portugal, are we countingTraore as Spajish or Malian?
 
Jones
Bjorklund Luzhny Bassong
Lowe Rosa Corica Dowe
Al-Jaber Proudlock Frankowski

Using Donegal's example.
 
Pretty sure I can come up with a truly sickening worst team.

Lonergan

Ross
Thétis
Bassong
Camara

Dowe
Sanjuan
Van der Laan
Jonsson

Paskin
Frankowski

Crazy Walter can be manager (and change the team every week)
 
Ady Williams would be a possible if he wasn't permanently fucking broken with us.

Hennessey is realistically our best Welsh player in the time I can remember. Twat, though. As was Paul Jones.
 
Nathan Blake is the best Welsh player we've had in my time...

For some reason I thought he'd asked for midfielders, I'm bloody seeing things that aren't there .....in print !!
 
So far I have
3-4-3

Williams - England
Boly - France
Saiss - Morroco
Munro- Scotland

Doherty - Ireland
Stuart - South Africa

Dendonker - Belgium
Moutinho

Doogan - NI
Jiminez - Mexico
Traore- Spain

Need left back, and CM
