Well done Sheffield I hadn't realised we could do Rangers.
The changes I would suggest are Greg Shields who could replace Gough at right back ( only on the basis that Gough never played in our first team),Kerkar to move to left back to replace Niemi,Johansson to go left midfield and strikers Iain Ferguson and John Macdonald to come in and complete a 4 3 3..
To balance the Old Firm We are quite a few players short of a Celtic team so I will pick a 5 a side team
Celtic: Tony Warner (never played in our first team), Paul Elliott,Mark Reid,Zheng Zhi and Jim Melrose.Sub Stuart Balmer (Never played in Celtic's first team.
Interestingly we also could have a five a side teams of Motherwell and Hearts :
Motherwell : Darren Randolph,Yassin Mouatakill,Alan Mccormack,Mark Gower,Francis Jeffers and Iain Ferguson as a sub.
Hearts: Willie Duff,Michael Stewart,Eggert Jonsson,Iain Ferguson and Ricardo Fuller.
Back to English clubs here is a stab at Man United although Cameron Stewart did not make it to their first team and Paul Rachupka didn't make it to ours:
Paul Rachupka,Tony Young,Jon Spector,David Wilson,Frank Haydock,Michael Stewart,Cameron Stewart,Garth Crooks,Harold Halse (pre war striker),Keith Gillespie,Jesper Blomqvist Sub Eamon Dunphy (another former United youth who never made the first team).
Ronnie Moore, Mark Hudson, Mark Aizlewood, Jermaine Darlington, Leighton Phillips, John Robinson, Paul Went, Mickey Bennett, Jay Bothroyd, J F HasselBaink, John Pearson,

I believe he made both first teams albeit not often!

Yes we could I also realised after I posted that I missed Graham Moore.
Ronnie Moore, Mark Hudson, Mark Aizlewood, Jermaine Darlington, Leighton Phillips, John Robinson, Paul Went, Mickey Bennett, Jay Bothroyd, J F HasselBaink, John Pearson,
Eddie May*, Reuben Agboola, Paul Miller, Leighton Phillips, Shelvey, Cyril Davies, Mark Gower, Scott Sinclair, Pawel Abbott, Leroy Lita, Frank Nouble
*out of position and involved in a management & not playing capacity for us
I did the Swans earlier in the thread and missed some strikers and Cyril Davies .Noel Dwyer is a mutual goalie, Eddie can manage the team but we would need to clone him in an Addicks South Wales derby so he could assist Lennie with Cardiff.
Ronnie Moore, Mark Hudson, Mark Aizlewood, Jermaine Darlington, Leighton Phillips, John Robinson, Paul Went, Mickey Bennett, Jay Bothroyd, J F HasselBaink, John Pearson,
It is interesting that all of this side have played for us over the last 10 years whereas the Scottish and Welsh teams which I posted earlier rely on some very historical legendary players.Does this show where the balance of power in football is going ?
For a similar contrast here is Eire which spreads back back to the 60's with Foley.I am delighted that I can now despose of Eamon Dunphy from the team.
Charlie Wright, Aswad Thomas, Andy Todd, Simon Francis, Danny Butterfield, Dean Sinclair, Bryan Hughes, Jason Lee, Clive Mendonca, Martin Pringle, Bradley Allen
Excellant team Sheffield the only changes I could make would be Andy Peake or Matt Tees for Aswad Thomas who only was an unused sub for us ,but that would further unbalance the team.It never ceases to amaze me what clubs you can do this exercise with.
Probably the strongest 11 for a current non league side is Luton :
GK: Tony Warner DF: Sweaty Balmer DF: Matt Elliot DF: Kelly Youga MF: Dany N'Guessan MF: Andy Hughes FW: Akpo Sodje FW: Kim Grant FW: Chris Iwelumo FW: Deon Burton FW: Paul Hayes
GK: Tony Warner DF: Sweaty Balmer DF: Matt Elliot DF: Kelly Youga MF: Dany N'Guessan MF: Andy Hughes FW: Akpo Sodje FW: Kim Grant FW: Chris Iwelumo FW: Deon Burton FW: Paul Hayes
SUB: Leon Clarke
Two changes. As above for the Cardiff team one of our Goalies from the 1960's the sadly deceased Ken Jones played 168 times for Scunny before joining us so he can displace Warner,Josh Wright for Akpo with Kim Grant playing on the wing helps lessen the striker heavy nature of the team and makes it look a bit more viable,Hughes could slot into right back as well and go 4 3 3.
In celebration of last night and our forthcoming trip , here is an updated Sheffield derby using Addicks.
This time it has complete subs benches .Personally I think the Massives would win this,although they would not have very mobile full backs.
Sheffield United
Nicky Johns , Simon Francis , Carl Tiler , Matt Spring , Simon Webster , Jon Fortune , Keith Gillespie ,Clive Mendonca ,Rob Hulse ,Andy Reid, Kyel Reid. Subs : Carl Ikeme,Chris Wilder,Alan McLeary, Greg Halford,Tony Towner,Marcus Bent,Andy Gray
Wednesday : Scott Carson ,Michael Morrison , Lawrie Madden , Jose Semedo , Madjid Bougherra ,Peter Shirtliff ,Steve Mackenzie ,Paolo Di Canio , Mark Bright , Chris Bart-Williams ,Lloyd Sam. Subs Bob Bolder ,Miguel Llera, Richard Wood, Robbie Mustoe , Luke Varney, Gordon Watson , Paul Williams .
After posting the Sheffield United team above I realised I had made a major omission in that I forgot Graham Stuart.
A flick through Colin Cameron's Valiant 500 has proved fruitful, I have identified a Keeper for the Derby team. Our 1930's custodian Henry Wright went on to play for the Rams after the emergence of Sam Bartram .Also incorporating Sheffieldreds improvements:
Henry Wright, Danny Mills,Chris Powell, Christian Dailly ,Simon Webster,Garry Rowett,Robert Lee,Derek Hales,Dai Astley,Johnnie Jackson,Charlie Revell
After their great escape here's Wycombe. Not much pace at the back with Basey and Doherty though :
Ben Roberts,Nathan Ashton,Grant Basey,Peter Garland,Gary Doherty,Paul Emblem,Rob Lee,Ade Azeez,Paul Hayes,Matt Spring ,Mark Robson
Sunderland . The balance is not good and it is striker heavy , but you could have 4 other keepers Ben Alnwick , Derek Forster Thomas Myhre or Peter Wakeham.
Bob Bolder,Greg Halford,Rueben Agboola,Andy Gray,Talal El Khaouri,David Young,Paul Williams,Vic Halom, Darren Bent,Andy Reid,Martyn Waghorn
If George signs then a Standard 11 is now possible.
Allowing for our new signings and Koc who never appeared in our first team.
I am sure that there will be others to improve it in the years to come . I hadn't realised until someone mentioned it on the Ben Haim thread that the legendary Jorge Costa ended his career at Standard.
GK Thuram RB Nego LB Ben Haim CB Jorge Costa CB Sorondo RM Reza CM Buyens CM AA LM Koc ST George ST Mike Small.
Burnley with Bikey in midfield.
Weaver ( unused sub for them ) , Todd ,Mceverley ,Bikey ,Cort , Pender,Campbell,Gray, Iwelumo ( or Sordell) ,O'Connell, Stewart.
Rotherham including their new signings and Ronnie Moore appearing as a centre back.
McDonagh (unused sub for us) Richardson,Minto,Campbell , Moore, Wood, Towner,Mendonca, Burton,Campbell-Ryce,Mullen. Subs Wilder,Friar , Halom
The discovery of 1930's keeper Henry Wright for Derby encouraged me to pitch this idea of joint 11's for the programme and you saw the first result last night .
After Rotherham's promotion I worked out that I can now pick teams for all of the CCC clubs in 2014/15. For Rotherham ,Huddersfield and Forest I have needed to use keepers who didn't actually play in our first team , but were all registered players . Jim McDonagh (Rotherham) and Paul Rachupka (Huddersfield) were unused subs ( indeed McDonagh could also feature for the Terriers ) and Forest's Paul Smith played for our academy and appeared in a pre season team photo in 1999/2000 . I also go back to the days of Wigan Borough a forerunner of the current club with Charlie 'Spider' Preddy to avoid the need to pick Scott Carson for Wigan Athletic .
The only club I had a real problem with was Huddersfield .We could go back to the origins of the game and pick a 2 3 5 formation because Simon Webster and Eddie Youds were the only defenders I am aware of . In a departure from my normal rules Glyn Snodin who never played but coached at both clubs gets a run out at right back and I located a pre war player James Davies who only played for us but had been registered with them , to play left back . If anyone could give me other possible names I would be grateful .
I also decided not to use players who still play for either Charlton or the club concerned . So that is the reason Johnnie Jackson did not appear in the Colchester team last night and will not feature for Derby or Watford . Similarly Dan Seaborne will be picked at left back for Bournemouth rather than Rhoys Wiggins . David Button is eligible for Bournemouth , so will be picked above Stephen Henderson but not for the mutual Brentford team . Marvin Sordell's recent move away from Bolton was a relief. Without him finding an appropriate forward for the Trotters within these rules would have been challenging. It is the opposite of Huddersfield in that we seem to have a lot of mutual defenders but apart from Sordell no forwards. Indeed the 2 new connections Ben Haim and Dervite would not make this any easier.
I also have picked more historical players than previously to make the teams more interesting . In a couple of cases they fitted in perfectly for the exercise . My Blackburn team needed another defender and I found him in William Rankin a Scottish centre back who was a FA Cup winner for Rovers and was our most expensive signing in 1932 .Nottingham Forest is improved by the 1946 Cup final duo of Sailor Brown and Jack Oakes. Last night for Col U I picked Benny Fenton and Cyril Hammond in the midfield alongside Keith Jones and Mark Kinsella .
If anyone has any comments and ideas of any other players please let me know .
GK Andy Pettersen RB Alan Mccormack ,LB Jay McEveley ,CB Jimmy Giles,CB Alan MacDonald ,RM Paul Gilchrist , CM Danny Hollands , CM Roger Smart ,LM Johnnie Jackson ,ST Ray Treacy ,ST Arthur Horsfield .
As stated above I deliberately did not use current players for the programme teams. I also took into consideration their spells at the other club.
For Brighton I selected Peter O'Sullivan and I actually was going to pick Mike Small on the basis that ( believe or not) he had a very successful spell at the Goldstone and crucially had partnered Garry Nelson there . That partnership even yielded a goal on the one full game when they played together for the Addicks against Millwall .A week before the game Darren Bent's move to Derby had made him 'eligible' so Benty was selected to partner Nelse.
My Huddersfield dilemma was sorted out by my discovery that Alex Dyer played for the Terriers as a defender towards the end of his career and Diego Poyet's brief loan spell earlier in the season . Of course there was a certain ex England International Left Back who might have had a good claim had I still needed a connection rather than a mutual player. As a current Huddersfield player Mark Hudson was ineligible .
Some other moves have almost fitted into a mutual team like a jigsaw piece .
Scunthorpe signed Miguel Llera . This gives the team a better balance.
GK Ken Jones ,RB Stuart Balmer , LB Kelly Youga , CB Matt Elliott , CB Miguel Llera , RM Kim Grant , CM Andy Hughes , CM Josh Wright,LM Dany N'Guessen ,ST Paul Hayes ,ST Chris Iwelumo
Oldham. Neil Etheridge played in the JPT for them before moving to us , so unlike Paul Rachupka he has actually played in both first teams.
Jay Mceveley joining Sheffield United means I have a proper left back for the Blades and do not need to shoe horn the left footed centre back and occasional left back Carl Tiler into the team.
Roger Johnson fits like a glove into the Wycombe team as a second central defender with Gary Doherty as well as potentially improving Birmingham , Cardiff , Massives ,West Ham and Wolves .

PDC can play for Celtic.
Hibs five a side - Tony Caig in goal, Joe McLoughlin, Soares, Akpo Sodje, Jonatan Johansson
Niemi could go in the Hearts team and I think there were a few players from the early years to add to that, but I doubt there is enough to make an XI.
