I feel that with Shackleton in goal any campaign would end in heroic failure. I'd go for J.Cleese instead. Relatively speaking, I like the combination of Newton and Brunel in midfield. Plenty of invention. I'd partner J. Lydon up front with J.Strummer - there'd be a natural understanding. W. Shakespeare is unlucky to be left out - but where would you play him?
It didn't work out for him in his team, Loves Labours. Not a good record. Never got his confidence after that.
Gordon Banks G. Nevill L. King Bobby Moore Ashley Cole Tom Finney Paul Gascoigne Glen Hoddle Robbo Teddy Sherringham Jimmy Greaves Robbo from front of back four Tom F great left right or-central Shearer - Linneker - Haynes - Shackleton etc close
Winners: Harry Hardy Tony Gardner - Michael Ball - Steve Guppy Mark Walters - Gavin McCann - Kevin Richardson Michael Ricketts - David Nugent - Francis Jeffers - Peter Ward
Barnes Wallace, as in the bouncing bomb. Should prove useful in breaking up attacks. Better bring in some reserves - A Hitchcock has presence in goal, and M Jagger to add some swagger to midfield. After he spent his hour fretting on stage, he'd be substituted. He was nothing more than an Elizabethan Walcott.
Have you seen how fat Michael Ball is now,stick him goal,he will fill it,the opponents will never score!
G Banks G Neville B Moore R Ferdinand A Cole S Matthews B Charlton P Gasgiogne J Barnes G Lineaker J Greaves I never saw Greaves, Charlton, Banks, Matthews or Moore play during their careers but have seen them on tv and they were fantastic. The only one I am sorry not to put in is Dixie Dean but I have only read about him so found it hard to justify putting him in without seeing him. If it is players I've seen then it would be; Shilton G Neville R Ferdinand T Adams A Cole S Coppell G Hoddle P Gasgiogne J Barnes G Lineaker P Beardsley

I knew this had been done before! I hear S.Hawking is cosmic, but he's useless in a penalty shout out. L.Olivier would be on my bench. He can play a number of different roles.
S Hawking doesn't have the mobility he used to. On the other hand, D Bader can withstand any tackle the opposition throw at him.
Henry VIII as manager with Richard III as assistant. They wouldn't dare lose. TE Lawrence, B.Montgomery, D. Livingstone, W.Raleigh, R.Scott & J.Cook to be drafted in for overseas games. With F.Nightingale on standby.
