    Why play Bobby Charlton upfront?

    His energy & running is far better served in midfield

    There was too much choice in midfield. I had to fit him in somewhere.

    Was great to see a few Geordies get nominated (Gazza, Shearer, J Charlton, B Charlton, Waddle, Robson) and three made the final team! Shame Beardsley didn't get a nomination.

    Shame?? He was shite!! That's like saying Phil Whelan & Nigel Pearson should be centre halfs.
