I'd just go for: if you had to pick a world team, who would get in the squad of 24 players? 3 goalies 8 defenders 8 midfielders 5 forwards Some English players who I think would have got in in their day: Gary Lineker Paul Gascoigne Peter Shilton David Beckham John Terry
When you guys are averaging 67.5 points per week in the fantasy football, a General Chat record, I might entertain debating with you.
A world class player is one who could walk into any team, anywhere in the world, at the time they were playing. So English = Bobby Moore, Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Gordon Banks, Peter Shilton. Norn Airlund hud George Best, so they did. So that's one more than Scotland. Wales had John Charles, and Gareth Bale. Two more than Scotland. This thread is a tragic embarrassment for the OP. The Paddies had Liam Brady btw. And Roy Keane, I suppose. **** that he is.
Apart from the fact Messi gets in that side and Christiano Ronaldo doesn't - which is a ****ing travesty - that list is pretty much spot on
Brian Gunn Robert Fleck Graham Dorhans Steven Whittaker Russel Martin Chris Martin Steven Naismith Gary Holt Grant Holt Jordan Rhodes Snodgrass Grant Hanley
Andy Goram Danny McGrain John Greig Billy McNeil Tommy Gemmell Dave MacKay Greame Souness Billy Bremner Davie Cooper Kenny Dalgliesh Dennis Law. We win. Close the thread
Might as well join in with the mirth: Oliver Khan Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Paul Breitner Gerd Muller Diego Armando Maradona
I'll have you know that I don't include anyone under 16 in my Dead Sexy thread. Regarding the "legends" surely if they were that well known even a ***** like me would have heard of them?
Just a mild hand grenade today; I would suggest John Greig produced more important and better performances for Glasgow Rangers and Scotland than either of Davy Cooper and Jim Baxter.
