    1 GK
    2 & 3 Full backs Right and Left
    4 and 6 Right wing-half and Left wing-half with 5 Centre half.

    7 and 11 wingers right and left. 9 Centre forward.

    8 inside right and 10 inside left.

    Was it Dick Graham as Palace manager that caused furore in the 1960's when his team didn't line up as you describe?

    I remeber the first time my games teacher pinned the school team up on the notice board in 3-3-4 formation (about 1971-2). We all thought he'd lost the plot. How could he take the centre forward out and put him as an extra centre half? Mad.

    *Boring Fact alert*

    The last team in the football league who had the starting line-up 1-11 on their shirts was Charlton Athletic in their debut game in the Premiership V. Newcastle United Away.

    As late as '76 I played a few games as an orthodox right-winger with no 7 on my back.

    Those were the days when you looked for a 'big no 9' up front......
