    This would not be my all time best 11 but seeing as the Premiership only started in 1992, it will have to do.

    Robinson

    Carr - King - Mabbutt - BAE

    Lennon - Palacios - Modric - Ginola

    Klinsman - Sheringham
    Subs: Berbatov, Keane, Defoe, Campbell, Freund, Thorstvedt

    Omitting Judas? Also, Anderton when fit was pretty good.

    Yep looks about right. Campbell would be in based on ability but ofcourse you could never include. Similarly, Carr spent too long sulking that he want his 'big move' before eventually joining Newcastle!!

    That's a bit harsh, Carr was with the club 11 years and well over 200 apps.

    Plus who can forget his cracker against united. he was one of my first true heroes. Kinda sad since he is onlt 6 years older then me.

    I would never ecen mention him in the same breath as cambell not much of a big move seeing as Newcastle only offered 2m for him.

    I remember that goal, i was directly in line with it as it arrowed into the top corner!

    Yes I agree with you, he was a great servant and player for many years.

    However he left under a real cloud as he sulked for at least 2 seasons before he left and now gets a terrible reception from the crowd. I went to an away game at Newcastle and the whole Spurs away support were giving him dogs abuse for the whole game.

    Exactly, he was pining for a big move for years and then all he got was Newcastle, v.funny!

    I always thought he was vey underratted as a player TBH, I think I remember hearing when he was with westham he got a very bad injury and as opposed to just finishing out his contract getting paid for being injured he asked to be released as it was the decent thing todo.

    If true I can't imagine any of the big heroes of the game doing that.

    Hows about Pat Van den Hauwe - he played in the 92/93 season, 1st year of the Prem. He was a physco!

    think the keane and berbatov strike parnership takes some beating ladsbut only as a duel strike force. i know how good teddy and klinsmann were but i cant rememberin 2 strikers having such a great undrstanding of each others play.

    Gonng back to the Carr debate, I think that we saw two Stephen Carrs. Before that long-term injury, he was skinning full-backs for fun and would definitely make my team. However when he returned he seemed to have lost his confidence and just passed square as soon as an opposing player came towards him (with the odd thunder-strike as an exception of course!!)
