    I'm going to take issue with this squad and say that we need to find another keeper, three full backs and two more centre backs to kick out a few nominees and complete the squad....

    Moore and Maldini are clearly not going to make the cut, with Messi and Maradona still to battle it out.

    Shearer is going nowhere!

    Drop Adams and we can stick Almunia in goal. The opposition will never get near goal with Shearer up front.

    Zidane over Zico
    Maradonna over Messi
    C.Ronaldo over Ronaldo or Ronaldinho
    Figo over Fashanu?

    N as Van Nistelrooy (then can have shilton over shearer)

    R and M have a lot of talent!

    So does C - Cantona, Cruyff, Carlos, Charlton all worthy candidates.

    Are you having a laugh..? You would pick Waddle over God?

    Warky was the best box to box midfielder of his generation and scored a shed load of goals for Ipswich and Liverpool from midfield. How you can put Waddle ahead of Wark is just absurd. I bet you even bought that dreadful record that Waddle and Hoddle released! <laugh>

    Warky won the FA Cup. UEFA Cup, European Cup and League Titles WTF has Waddle ever won?

    Waddle was always a hero of mine. I played left wing myself so to me, he was mesmerising to watch.

    We are lucky actually that many of the players mentioned trod the turf at Portman Road <ok>

    You're entitled to your opinion mate so I guess we will just have to differ on this one. I was privileged enough to watch Warky make his debut as a 17 year old back in 1975 when he came in as a Centre Back against Leeds in the FA CUP 6th Round second replay at Filbert Street. He was awesome that day alongside Big Al Hunter and a star was born. Warky is without any doubt the best player we have ever produced and I would even put him ahead of Kevin Beattie in this regard. EVeryone raves about Frank Lampard and his goal scoring record from midfield but John Wark was doing it 20 years before.

    They were different types of player, I'm not really saying Waddle is better than Wark, of course he's not. There has never been a better Lampard-type player than Warky. But when I'm asked for a footballer starting with the letter W those two spring instantly to mind. Having been born in 1979 Bobby Robson's Italia 90 side was the first that I really knew inside out, I was watching Mexico 86 and even had the sticker book, but I was too young to absorb it.

    My memories of ITFC in the 80s were hearing the roar from our house around the corner whenever there was a goal and standing on a milk crate to see the game and watching the results come in on Grandstand for my Grandma's pools. I knew about Bobby Robson of course and the great team we'd had - my parents postponed their wedding in 1978 for the Cup final - but what was going on on the pitch didn't start to sink in until I started going regularly in the John Lyall-era, so the John Wark i saw in the flesh was the hero number 5 in front of Craig Forrest.
