Serious question, does the Blues team we had out that day beat the current one (in a last day promotion play off let’s say)?

No I don't think so, that was about 30 years ago and many of those players will be quite old by now.
There were some very good players back then. "Real" players
I had just started a new job then and was on a long business trip to Germany. I persuaded my 3 other colleagues to join me listening to coverage of that in a bar overlooking the Rhine on a sunny day in Cologne. Then with 10 minutes to go, the coverage just stopped for no reason and I had to find another way of discovering we’d won!
I was in their main stand sat behind Fry, at the final whistle I ran onto the pitch and was immediately confronted by blues fans running from behind the goal. I narrowly avoided a beating from my fellow supporters.

Yes. By 3 clear goals.
A great day, one of happiest Blues away days.
It was also a milestone birthday for me that weekend. The early May bank holiday has been put back a week to this weekend to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VE, the weather was neigh on perfect, and so it became a weekend long party.
If Carlsberg did weekends, that was definitely mine :-)
Claridge would have a field day against the curent lot
Robbie McCracken and all were there as well. Brilliant day

Who's in your combined 11?

Depends, are we playing with today's rules or rules back then?
Half the players were firm in a tackle and probably all be sat on bookings within 20 minutes
That being said, if it was today's team playing with rules from then, they would be murdered
Some stand out players, ability wise from that squad include
Bennett, Barnett, daish, Jose, Donowa, hunt, shearer ,claridge, tait, hiley, ward, Lowe
Proper ballers
