The Stacey West XI – Centre Backs

It has taken me just under two hours to put that together, during which time I’ve watched a few YouTube clips, flicked through old programmes and reminisced about some truly excellent footballers. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself and even right now, I don’t know who I’m going to vote for. Part of me wants to vote for Peake, but I didn’t see him play for City.

Was McAuley really better in a Lincoln shirt than Paul Morgan? Is Sean Raggett as good as we’ve ever seen at the Bank? It’s going to be intense watching how the voting goes because, unlike the other positions, there’s no clear winner after Peake.

Right, without further ado, it is over to you. Last time we got just under 500 votes, the same turnout this time would be incredible. Thank you for continuing to indulge me here.

  1. As talented as Paul Morgan was – and he’s my choice – I do recall how comically bad he was at knocking the ball forwards from the back!
    He rarely made a mistake though and always had the pace and skill to recover if he did.

  2. Jamie McCombe was every bit as good for us as McAuley & Morgan.
    I can’t vote for Morgan, as we never saw him in a traditional back four. He was always in the sweeper role, mopping up what the two giants in front of him didn’t.
    I’ve voted for the duo that I think complement each other the best, Austin for his pace & power & Raggett for his aerial prowess.

  3. Peake and Thomson were the best pairing I’ve seen in an Imps team but you can’t ignore McAuley for the time he has lasted in the top league. So Peake and McAuley for me.

  4. Not sure if I am just biased against Morgan because the journalist prior to Curtis always referred to him as Baresi, and although he was decent he was never that good. My personal feeling is that he is thought of as better than he was because he didn’t just hoof it, but I don’t think he did enough of the key stuff well. Unlike McCauley and McCombe he also didn’t play at a higher level after

  5. I’ll vote for Peake, given he was brilliant, but also because he told me to get off the pitch on my third lap of the centre circle as an over-keen, seven-year-old mascot. Happy memories!
