Let's be brave: 6 picks before the start of the pre-season.
All Time Reserves Draft | Quarters
- Thread starter Moby
- Start date
@Skizzo @Pat_Mustard Finally John Barnes gets picked! One of my favourite players ever (even though hes a scouse), he doesn't get enough love on this forum which is understandable but I think he's been underrated by England as a whole.

@Tuppet
Yeah, that's fine. I didn't pay attention to the date myself, just the day.
He was in contention for past 3 or 4 turns. Quite hard to turn him down and you both pick him up

@Aldo I'm sending my stuff to Skizzo.
In hindsight having some easy country restrictions would have been more fun... Something like not more than 2 per country or like...
The good players pool was much larger than I thought. Class players till 12th pick.
We really need to do the bottom of the barrel draft sometime after this.

No problem, sir. Just let me know a day ahead.
Thanks mate. I'm delighted to finally get him. I went into a complete muppet frenzy back in the Premier League draft trying to get the fat old central midfielder version of Barnes but we missed out on him. Such a fantastic player to watch.
Liam Brady
ELEGANT, INTELLIGENT, INCISIVE AND A MATCH-WINNER; terms that can be applied to the greats of the game, and terms that unequivocally apply to Dublin’s Liam Brady. A midfielder with touch and poise ahead of his era Brady turned the swamp-like pitches of the 1970s and 80s into a velvet red carpet with the ball at his feet. A senior career that spanned 17 years, six clubs and two countries saw him become a legend at Arsenal and a cult hero in Serie A.
Early Life:
Born in Dublin’s fair city on February 13 1956, Liam Brady began his football career at youth level for his local club and FAI Cup maestros, Home Farm. After a short spell he was snapped up by Arsenal in 1970 and began a rapid ascent from wonderkid, to Arsenal legend. Born into a footballing family (his great uncle and brother were both Irish Internationals), Brady was to become the most successful of the lot, making 72 appearances for his country and a further 307 for Arsenal.
Playing Style:
A midfielder renowned for his elegant technical skills, most notably his left foot, and his high-quality passing and close control. He had everything a midfielder could want - skill, vision, balance, strength, a powerful shot and the ability to glide past opponents at will. Like all great players he always had time on the ball and almost always chose the right option. On a football pitch, Brady's brain and feet worked in perfect harmony. He glided instead of trudging, he passed instead of hoofing; he was cappuccino whilst his compatriots were tea. This continental style, which would go on to serve him well during the eighties, was self taught; Liam Brady was a natural born world shaker. Known for his playmaking vision, Brady injected culture and intellect into the dullest of games.
The old cliché of the big players performing at the big moments has never been truer than in Brady. Brady had guided his teams in to a commanding lead and just as things looked to have slipped away picked up the ball to drive them on once more. Bravery on the ball epitomised Brady at Wembley and is a trait that formed a central part of the way he played the game.
Arsenal
Brady's ability was evident from the moment he joined Arsenal and Bertie Mee wasted no time in blooding Highbury's most talented teenager. Brady brought Arsenal from the brink of relegation in 1973, to three successive FA Cup finals between 1978 and 1980. He formed a deadly partnership with Frank Stapelton and Malcom Macdonald who benefited greatly from the Irishman’s through balls and wondrous set pieces.
Brady’s display under the twin towers of Wembley in Arsenal’s 3-2 win against Manchester United was undoubtedly his finest hour at the club. The United players couldn’t get near Brady in the first-half and his jinking run helped create the opener. Constantly looking to carry the ball forward, Brady found the opening for Frank Stapleton to head a second before half-time. Brushing off one challenge before jinking on to his weaker side the Irishman measured a pinpoint cross and the cup was seemingly won. Cup finals are rarely that straightforward though. United struck twice in the last five minutes and the final looked destined to head for extra time. Just after the restart Brady took the game to United again. He collected the ball in the centre circle and beat his man before measuring a precise pass to the left flank. The cross that followed found Sunderland, who produced his famous finish at the back post.
goal vs Spurs
Juventus:
Liam Brady's arrival in Turin dates back to the summer of 1980, when he left Arsenal for Juventus and became the Bianconeri's first ever foreign signing after the reopening of the frontiers.Within just a few months of his arrival in Turin, he had already become a fundamental component of the side under coach Giovanni Trapattoni. The 1980/81 season was a fantastic one for Brady in every way possible. He was outstanding in front of goal, where he always managed to create space for himself where previously there had been none, and finished the season as the League's top scorer. His vision, close control, tactical nous and most importantly his masterful left foot; meant that he and calcio were a match made in heaven. Juventus already had world class stars in the shape of Bettega, Scirea and Zoff, but they were missing a trequartista that could take them to the next level; Brady was that player. Ireland’s finest quickly became the talk of the terraces around the Peninsula. He made the world’s greatest defenders look like amateurs, the world’s greatest goalkeepers like school children, and himself like the second coming of Boniperti.
His velvet feet and footballing brain, allowed Liam Brady to control the pace of every game he played in 1981/82. However, before the third last game of the season, the then Juventus president Giampiero Boniperti called Brady to his door and told him that he would be offloaded at the end of the season. Regulations at the time only allowed each club t0 own just two foreign players. Juventus had Polish striker, Zbigniew Boniek and for the next campaign the board had opted to sign Michel Platini to partner the hulking forward instead of Brady. The ‘betrayal’ left him heartbroken and left many Juventini in the same state. Despite his oncoming exit, he stepped up to score the penalty in the seasons final game that won the trophy for Jeventus.
Ireland's greatest ever footballer
Liam Brady is a true Irish soccer great. It is a major regret for many Republic of Ireland fans that this wonderful soccer talent was never displayed in a major international championship finals. Injury, bad luck and his inability to adapt fully to the Jack Charlton football philosophy all conspired to prevent him from appearing in the finals of either the Euro Championship or World Cup. Undoubtedly Liam Brady was the most Irish talented footballer of his generation and he went on to play for top soccer clubs in England and Italy.
John Giles and Eoin Hand attempted to mould a talented group into a successful team during their stints in charge of the national team but were undone by some dubious officiating, most notably during qualification for the 1978 World Cup in Paris and Sofia. Even more scandal was to come during the qualifying process for Spain 82 in an away clash at Belgium.
Failures and travesties left Liam Brady bereft of tournament football in the green of his national team from his debut in a memorable win over Soviet Union in 1974 to his enforced retirement on the eve of World Cup 1990. He was the outstanding individual in the Irish set-up for a decade. But his status as uncrowned king of Irish football was scuffed once Charlton took the reins in 1986. Any chance of a swan song appearance in the Word Cup Finals in 1990 evaporated when Charlton substituted Brady in the first half of a pre-tournament friendly against West Germany Charlton admitted he only started Brady in the match to prove to the Irish fans that the great player was past his best. It was an ignominious end for one of the few truly world class footballers that Ireland has ever produced.
Goal vs Platini's France for Republic of Ireland
Twilight of his Career:
After the arrival of Michel Platini in summer 1982, Brady moved to Sampdoria, and went on to play for Internazionale and Ascoli, before returning to London in 1987, for a transfer fee of £100,000, to play for West Ham United. He was a member of the side relegated from the First Division in 1989 and played one season in the Second Division before finally retiring as a player in 1990.
