540.0. "Oh God !! No !! Not Eric Gates !!!" by CHEFS::RUTHERFORDI (Find a happy place...!!) Thu Feb 08 1996 09:14

    Last nights little drinky session dragged up an old topic, but one that
    made for a hugely entertaining evening. 
    
    	Who would be in your Ugly XI ???
    
    
    There were so many candidates, that we even had ugly teams from each of
    the Home countries. It then got slightly silly and went on to the
    Short-Arsed XI !!! (Sammy Lee was captain !!)
    
    Anyway, the final team that was selected was :-
    
    As voted for by the "Just one more little drinky" Committee
    
    
    				Neville Southall
    
    	Danny McGrain	Willie Young	Phil Thompson	Joey Jones	
                                         (with Perm)
    
    
    				Nobby Stiles
    
    		Eric Gates			Matt Le Tissier
    
    
    				Ralph Coates
    
    
    
    			Peter Beardsley	Iain Dowie
    
    
    Managed by John Sillett !!!
    
    Now I think you'll agree that that Team is pretty HORRIFIC !! The back
    4 would frighten children for a living, and Nobby would just do his jig
    with that inane grin on his face. Most disgusting though is Ralph
    Coates, a man on a par with Bobby Charlton for worst haircut in
    football !! And the SIZE of the man !!
    
    Anyway, because there were so many players to choose from I will put in
    the 4 Home Country teams, and you can add names to a seemingly
    never-ending list of mutations that have graced the football field !!

    Even more amazingly is that we have totally forgotten about one man who
    could make you throw up if his face was on screen for too long. He
    wasn't even mentioned last night, but in the lightness of day all I can
    think of is this guy gangling it down the left-wing and looking as
    though the slightest bit of wind would send him into orbit. I am
    talking of course, about David Fairclough. How the hell we forgot him
    I'll never know !!

     Yep, I spotted it after I made the entry, but I do still feel that
     just to confine him to the Scottish ugly team, would be a disservice
     to a man who hit every branch as he fell out of the ugly tree.

    Where is Mike Pejic ? or is he in a different league of ugliness
    altogether ?

540.6The man with the cauliflower *nose*...VARESE::TRNUX1::IDC_BSTROh no! NOT Milan Kundera again!Thu Feb 08 1996 11:465
    re: .5
    Agreed! I was just going to nominate Mike Pejic myself for the left back
    position, but he probably deserves the career award.
