GK: Thomas Myhre
Thomas Myhre was a brilliant goalkeeper for us. He was really experienced.
He was also an excellent bloke to have around the club, so I have to go for him.
(At this point I asked him if he was sure he didn’t want to go for Kelvin Davis…)
Kelvin Davis? No, I don’t think the fans were too happy with him! I remember when Matty Taylor lobbed him from 40-yards and someone ran on the pitch and wanted to kill him. I guess that it just didn’t work out for him here, he ended up doing alright at Southampton I suppose. But I’ll leave Kelvin out of that squad.
LB: George McCartney
He had a difficult second period at the club, but definitely George McCartney – he was fast, and a really good player that could not only get back but also attack.
He was a really solid left back.
RB: Nyron Nosworthy
Danny Simpson did alright for us at right back but, although he was best as a centre back, I’d go for Nyron Nosworthy because he was an animal!
He wasn’t the best footballer, but you know defensively not much would go by him. He was an absolute monster.
CB: Jonny Evans
Jonny Evans was very good - you could see he had came from Manchester United.
CB: Gary Breen
Gary Breen was a bit like Tommy Myhre - an experienced head, and good in the dressing room. He had a good season in the year of my first promotion. He was really dependable, experienced pro.
LM: Julio Arca
100 million percent, I have to choose Julio Arca. Definitely. He was a genius of a footballer.
RM: Carlos Edwards
When he came in he had a great season and did really well – he was as pacey as you like, could beat his man well and really did score some amazing goals, but he also got some important ones.
CM: Dean Whitehead
Dean Whitehead's energy was outstanding. You could play him anywhere and he’d do a job.
I think he even played right back at points. He came in at the same time as me and had a great season. He was a really good, young player.
CM: Graham Kavanagh
I would say Kav. Although when he came he got injured a lot, when he did play he was excellent. He was another one that was brilliant in the dressing room.
I played with him a lot in the national team and he was fantastic.
CAM: Ross Wallace
I think I’m going to change my formation up a bit and go for Ross Wallace in the hole.
Ross had a great delivery, too. His left foot was ridiculous. Yeah, I’ll have him there - Ross and Julio can interchange.
I honestly thought that he would have spent longer in the Premier League - he’s doing well at Sheffield Wednesday now, though.
CF: Marcus Stewart
Definitely Marcus. He was a great player to learn from. There was a lot to learn from him - the way he carried himself as a professional. He would really look after me on the pitch, with his movement and all that.
