Foster
Dawson --- McAuley --- Evans --- Gibbs
Mulumbu
Barnes --- Morrison --- Brunt
Odemwingie --- Lukaku
Subs: Olsson, Reid, Scharner, Yacob, Gera, Long, Rodriguez
Foster - just the best keeper we had in decades, full stop
Dawson - tempted to pick Steven Reid, but fond of the way we nurtured him from lower league player to Prem regular
McAuley - one of the great football rags-to-riches stories, and proper servant to the club
Evans - shite captain, but on talent alone he was our best centre-half since the Seventies
Gibbs - hasn't fully had chance to flourish over a couple of tough years, but probably our best LB since Statham
Mulumbu - iconic player at his best, always fondly remembered, scored the winner against Villa in 2011
Brunt - a game-changing player on his day, and one of the last loyal club men
Morrison - as above
Barnes - a five-month loanee in our team of the decade seems daft, but without his impact, we might have gone straight into a downward spiral after relegation
Lukaku - another loanee, but what a loanee; we'll always be his breakthrough club, and to his dying day he'll never celebrate a goal against us
Odemwingie - Molineux, February 2012; and all the rest
Let's hear your thoughts and your picks!
Not bad.. in fact very good. But where would you fit in Kevin Phillips, Jason Koumas, Kamara, Koren,
