Billy McEwan's Dream City Team
Following Billy's comments (YEP 18/September/2006) about Clayton Donaldson being the new Paulo Wanchope, it got the branch thinking about Billy's dream City side, here goes...
City Now |
Billy’s Dream |
Billy’s Thoughts |
Tommy Evans |
Graeme Crawford |
Possibly the best Scottish keeper ever |
Darren Craddock |
Gary Rhodes |
Ex Rangers defender who could have gone onto play for Scotland if hadn’t donned a silly white hat. Meanwhile, Darren, from the old cookery school, doesn’t approve of nutmegs or being roasted by opposing forwards. |
James Dudgeon |
Sol Campbell |
Good scoring record from set pieces but needs to maintain concentration better |
Dave McGurk |
Rio Ferdinand |
Whilst Rio shows tremendous loyalty to the biggest offer. David shows the same loyalty to City having signed for us on 4 separate occasions |
Nathan Peat |
Ben Thatcher |
First class ability at engaging body before brain |
Mark Convery |
David Beckham |
Rarely beats a man with his pace nowadays, but can still occasionally put over a decent cross |
Neil Bishop |
Owen Hargreaves |
Didn’t immediately win over all the fans, but his attributes are now indispensable |
Manny Panther |
Patrick Vieira |
Former giant midfield enforcer plus who may now have to give ay to younger guns in midfield |
Steve Bowey |
Joe Cole |
Under rated performer whose displays in the difficult to fill number 11 shirt have made us forget the nondescripts who previously filled the shirt with shame |
Clayton Donaldson |
Paulo Wanchope |
"When I first saw Clayton play he reminded me of Paulo Wanchope", Billy McEwan |
Craig Farrell |
Gary Bull |
The perfect role model for Farrell, works hard, looks classy and didn’t score goals. I dream that Craig can score as many goals as Gary's cousin Steve |
Subs: |
||
Arran Reid |
Scott Carson |
In the right place at the right time |
Alex Rhodes |
Wayne Rooney |
Great young talent |
Lewis McMahon |
Steve Nicol |
Another ex Sheffield Wednesday and Notts County midfielder. It remains to be seen whether Lewis will make the grade with Liverpool and Scotland |
Daniel Parslow |

With this team , I could go with 4 subs like I did at Crawley (and this team wouldn’t lose 3-0) |
Martyn Woolford |
Martyn Woolford |
Potentially impossible to replace |
