    I was thinking of all the players we have had who qualify for other countries other than England and wondered what sort of team it would be. I have had a go at this and put in a few arguable/controversial players. But would welcome some other suggestions.

    Isnt Dudgeon English?

    What about Chris Galvin instead of Brady. Would like to see that step over he used to do one more time and say to Brady and he got a cross in afterwards!

    other than Galvin being Yorkshire born and bred that's a brilliant idea!

    I dont know if he had an international career but as his brother Tony played for Eire i naturally assumed he would be eligible too? But hey feel free to jump on me.

    Ye just looked him up. Does that mean he could still play for England as its only under 21's? Not sure of the ruling regarding internationals.

    True. Chris would therefore have qualified as well but was never called up. Both were born in 'Uddersfield.

    Seemed to struggle for defenders...had Zayette, Kilbane, McShane, Andy Davidson, Rui Marques, Mouyokolo, Sonko, so you can see the problem for the LH side.

    Pedersen at left back would work well. I had forgot about Julian Johnson.

    is this a team designed not to get any goals? cousin isnt a striker in a month of sundays. altidore doesnt score enough. and ngata couldnt score with one of his billiard table passes .if you stood him and the ball six inches off the goal line. he'd tap it and it would roll five inches.

    you need alf ackerman up front. born south africa. 49 goals in 92 games. cousin and altidore wont end their careers with 49 between them.

    Threads like this would be better if all the players were posted first and then people choose a squad afterwards.

    You have players like Viggo Jensen with his Danish caps in the late 40s/early 50s who would be a contender
    Other names, although not strictly contenders in addition to what has been mentioned
    Ian Goodison
    Antonio Doncel
    Kuipers
    Richard Garcia
    Iain Hesford - wasnt he Zambian by birth?
    Herry Ngata as mentioned
    Richard Sneekes
    Mouyokolo
    JJ Okocha
    Marques
    Cacares?
    Kyle Lightbourne?
    Nobby
    Belaid
    Boateng
    Van Blerk - think he was an aussie
    Ekra - not sure he counts!
    Halmosi
    JVOH
    Hessenthaler
    Sonko
    Zaki
    Vaz Te

    Probably missed loads too

    Ive ignored anyone UK + Ireland


    Worryingly, would the manager be Jan Molby?

    I would never in my life pick Altidore, even if he was the only fit striker in the squad.

    Viggo Jensen would be in any 'Best City Team' so he should walk into this one.
