Pick 2

Jobbo and Earl.

 

Clint Hill would have been a shout if he would have stayed in my opinion.

[dannyboy55555]

If Barrett and Jobson don't win this by a country mile everyone is an idiot.

[Bristolatic]

Being of a certain age, there are many I've seen who may possibly have eclipsed all of them, but it has to be Earl the Pearl and Jobbo from this list.

[beag_teeets]

I've gone for Fleming and Earl, I like Jobbo but although it is hazy if memory serves then I remember Fleming being slightly better on the ball.

[OAFC_Ryan]

Reubs and Gregan as a partnership for me, most of the others are before my time or I was too young to remember.

[dobxal]

Can't believe john hurst isnt on the list

[BP1960]

You forgot Doug Hodgson.

[Break The Silence]

Barrett and Jobbo because they were playing in the top flight against top opposition. Greegs in recent times, although Fitz Hall was ace as well.

[archiecat]

Being old enough to remember everybody on that list, there are some very decent players.

will go for Barrett and Warhurst,i don't recall there ever being a central defensive pairing with their pace both went on to play at bigger clubs

[oafcprozac]

You forgot Doug Hodgson.

 

He was crap! I normally respect your opinion BP but he never once impressed me. The definition of big dozy pillock! Him Sinnott and Graham playing in the same team used to give me nightmares, sometimes Warnock would have Redmond in there too. It was only when Stitch brought Garnett in alongside Graham we looked okish at the back.

 

Hodgson was a social moron and a pisshead to boot!

[BP1960]

To be fair Prozac he would run through a brick wall, and maybe as a result suffered some serious injuries in the Latics cause.

[oafcprozac]

Met him in the Isle of Man BP, didn't give a monkeys about Latics he would have run through a brick wall just for the hell of it. He was your typical big dopey Aussie, couldn't wait to move on he said and also stated he purposely tried to injure other players. Wasn't joking either!

[Magic Mikey]

Can't believe john hurst isnt on the list

Jobbo and Earl. Great memories of an overweight Hurst oozing class and running the show. The Shez of his time.

Perhaps my memory is clouded, but I seem to remember he was a terrific header of the ball.

[oafcprozac]

Where there's no sense there's no feeling BP!

 

Some of his performances away from home gave me nightmares, especially when he first arrived. To think we sacrificed Nick Henry and he (DH) was the makeweight...

[rudemedic]

Jobbo and Earl

 

With a very honourable mention of Fleming, who was the only man I've seen mark Ryan Giggs (in his pomp) out of a game and I saw Maldini play against Giggs.

[lancy lad]

Barrett and Warhurst together had to be the best partnership I have ever seen in my time at Latics.

 

Jobbo was fantastic aswell, as was Futcher, Moore and Linighan

[stargazer]

Another easy one , Barrett & Warhurst were simply class.The sheer pace of Warhurst & the magnetic man marking of Barrett.

 

Lots of other good ones , Linighan , Jobson , Marshall (even better forward though) , Futcher , Moore .........

[oafcprozac]

Can't believe I missed Andy Holden - boll

[oafcprozac]

ocks......

Hodgson was a legend!! One of the hardest players ever!! I remember him breaking his nose at Cardiff away once, having 10 minutes of attention off the pitch, then comes back on and takes the ball full in the face again after about 2 mins. Just shook it off and carried on.....

 

Rubbish footballer, mind.....

[lookersstandandy]

Ian Marshall started out a centre half... and a bloody good one at that. In fact, part of the reason he left for Ipswich was because Royle wanted him to go back there. Still, Barrett and Jobson win hands down and anyone who suggest otherwise must not have seen them!

[oafcprozac]

I thought he was good one minute absolutely calamitous the next at CB

[oafcprozac]

I went for Barrett and Moore both played at a higher level for longer than jobbo did
