The advent of The Squad Player
By Amy Quinn, writing from Dublin
In the great, successful teams of the last few decades, it always seems to me that much care is taken, after due praise is given to the eleven on the pitch, to point out the names that sit on the bench. The now slightly worn out clichés of ‘strength in depth’ are bandied about. Abundance of quality is the mark of a truly good team. It’s become a given in football, a necessity, part of the landscape. In recent times, the real indicator of a team’s ability to succeed hasn’t been the starting XI, but the back up plan.
Whenever the issue of the ‘strength and depth’ is raised I always find myself thinking of Aston Villa, and their oft-forgotten 14-player championship. In the 1980/81 season, Villa secured the English first division title, fending off stiff competition, having used only 14 players throughout the course of the year. Unfortunately, I suppose, it’s not the 1980s. Villa’s league triumph was the exception, rather than the rule. These days, clubs draw from a pool restricted to 25 (boosted, when needed, by a limitless number of youth players). Purely for illustration purposes, I counted 23 players having made appearances in 2010/11 for Aston Villa. Times really have changed.
I thought I was the only one who does this omg
