joewarkfanclub Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Listening to Tam on Stuart on the radio the now. Alison Walker picking her best Hamilton 11. I know we have had greatest ever Motherwell teams but that always throws up arguments about great players from our past most of us never had the privelege to see. So, off the back of todays articles about The Grew and Faddy, what is the best Well 11 of players you have seen in the flesh. Take 1960 as the earliest date to make it fair!

FJ-94 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Although i went to games earlier only really remember post administration era, so mine would look a little like this : Ruddy Corrigan-Craigan-Reynolds-Hammell McCormack-Lasley-Law-McFadden Higdon-Mcdonald Subs Randolph Hutchinson Humprhey Porter Clarkson Probably missing some obvious ones because I didn't think I would have Law starting and Humphrey on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tottenmfc Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Started regularly going to 'Well games when I was 10 / 11 I think and now 26 so the players that I remember will be fairly recent but my effort is this: Randolph Corrigan - Hutchinson - Reynolds - Hammell Murphy - Valakari - Lasley - Elliott Coyne - McFadden Subs: Ruddy Craigan Law Clarkson Higdon Possibly more my favourite eleven rather than 'greatest' eleven but never mind!

joewarkfanclub Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Forgot how well served we have been at right back over the years. Burley Nijholt Krivocapic Corrigan all decent shouts. I was quite young at the time but I remember thinking Stuart McLaren was a decent right back as well. Maybe older posters can confirm or refute that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is it to be a best 11 or favourite 11? My best 11 would have to include McDonald. Lambert and Spencer (based on the form he showed up to signing a permanent deal) but none would make it into my favourite 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 My dad asked me to post McCloy, Ritchie and McInally. Before my time obviously but i promised i'd post it and tell him the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Big Peter McCloy did very well for us but his one fault was he was not good with anything low to the ground near the corners. Billy Ritchie had been a top line 'keeper with Rangers and was a bit past it when he came to us but managed to do a decent job when required - reliable safe pair of hands. Big Jackie McInally (I'd an uncle that called him Jacqueline as he didn't seem to rate him) again was probably by his best when we got him - he'd won the league with Kilmarnock a few years previously but from what I can recall he formed a decent partnership foil for Dixie Deans. All three gave their all for the old 'Well in an era when players were paid peanuts so my respect to them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would say there is some artistic licence, your favourite players must have been decent to make you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Jules Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Van der Gaags goal against Dunfermline is my number 1 Well memory. I was 4 when we won the cup and i wasn't even staying in the country at the time so i never seen that, but even the european tours and games that secured us european fitba will never compare to the buzz of seeing that shot hit the back of the net !! Mitchell is a must in the top Well 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It was a good hit and the importance of the goal made it very special. This is where favourites come in. Although Van der Gaag was up there he was with us such a short time. I have a real soft spot for big Buff Martin. IMO he should have been a first pick for Scotland for 2 seasons. By the time he actually got his chance his form had started to dip. Buffs 30 yarder at Ibrox is one of my favourite memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
