Re: Best ever Non League team
How many of these teams have players that Saunders plucked from nowhere ?
Obeng Ashton NKP Harris Fowler Clarke Speight and to that the ones that would have been more expensive Keates Wright Creighton Whens the last time we plucked someone from obscurity on trial that turned into a decent first team regular ? |

Re: Best ever Non League team
Fair does Saunders took some risks. Football genius or lucky?
Obeng--Released from Man City no senior football experience Ashton--Released when Chester went bust NKP- Signed as a left winger. Previously spent 6 years at Histon as a part time footballer. Harris- twelve month ban by FA. Released from Chester when they went bust. Fowler--Released by FGR after injury. Nomadic career including playing at lower levels Speight--Released from Bradford. Previously jailed for Assault Saunders also had a complete scatter gun approach. How many players did he get in on trial who never played for the club or who were utter s***e?

The pattern for this best non league team is there for all to see, and despite what some would have you believe, didn't cost fortunes to put together.

His strike record for traillsits was very good. Can't think of any that we've had that have been a success since he left...... Let alone sold on for money or went on to play in the league. |

What about chris Blackburn might have upset a few fans as he did not want to be a midfielder but he put in some outstanding performances in that postion. |

He had the money to do it, it would have been strange if he didn't. I just think it's interesting he wasn't afraid to take risks on players with dodgy pasts, or no direct experience of the league we were in. |
