Sinton was before I started watching. That is why I clearly mentioned 1990.

The Turner I was referring to was obviously Michael not Wayne!

That would be a close call between Paul Evans and Terry Hurlock IMHO

But the best team has to be

Some very very tough choices here!

I'd prefer to pick for each decade myself!

1970's, 80's, 90's, 00's......................much easier.

The inclusion of Bates is a joke isn't it? In the relevant period, I'd put Hermann, Ivar, Powell, Sonko, Sodje, Turner and Balkestein well ahead of him. Rest of the team looks OK for the period concerned
