This Saturday the Hatters welcome Newcastle United, to Kenilworth Road, for a Premier League fixture.
Yesterday, I published an article – they-played-for-both-newcastle-united – whereby I tried, but failed miserably, to put together one of our ‘Played for Both’ articles, with the XI I selected falling SIX players short of being complete.
As a result, I appealed for help from our readership and received a terrific response with the following names being suggested:
• Darron McDonough – Midfielder
• Andros Townsend – Midfielder
• Kazenga LuaLua – Winger
• Eddie Connolly – Inside Forward
• Jimmy Gibson – Forward
• Gordon Hindson – Midfielder
• Billy Lindsay – Defender
• Alan Nielson – Defender
• George Stobbart – Forward
• Jim Tildesley – Defender
• Harry Woods – Inside Forward
I must admit to being a little crest-fallen at missing the obvious names in the above list, but the help given, by our readership, has enabled me to complete my starting XI (plus substitute):
Goalkeeper – Tim Krul
Defender – Billy Lindsay
Defender – Alan Nielson
Defender – Jim Tildesley
Midfielder – Alex Gilliead
Midfielder – Darron McDonough
Midfielder – Andros Townsend
Midfielder – Gordon Hindson
Striker – Viv Busby
Striker – Malcolm MacDonald
Striker – Mick Harford
Substitute – Imre Varadi
Thank you for valuable assistance.
