[Gus the teenage cow]

Mine is:

Rules: you must pick at least one player from each nation



Given

O' Shea Terry Ferdinand Bale



Steve Davis Brown Ireland McGeady


Gerrard

Rooney

[Deathy]

It only weakens the side by adding the token Welsh, N'Ireland and Scotsmen. (Rep Ireland are alright tho')

-------------------- Given --------------------

Hutton ---- Ferdinand ----- Terry ---- Cole

Beckham -- S.Brown -- Gerrard -- Ramsey

----------- R.Keane ----- Rooney -----------

Northern Ireland token chap on bench.

ALOL @ anyone other than Shay Given being in the team outside of England

[TBM]

ALOL @ anyone other than Shay Given being in the team outside of England

I think Robbie Keane would get in.....he's better than Heskey, Crouch, Cole and is probably on par with Defoe

[Barry the bird boggler]

ALOL @ anyone other than Shay Given being in the team outside of England

Agreed! Surely a better thing to have would be best post war British and Irish squad.... I'd go for

Jennings
Clemence
Shilton

Neal
Watson
Butcher
McGrain
Charlton J
Moore
Hughes

[winchester_royal]

LOL @ Sheringham.

[TBM]

LOL @ Sheringham.

and no Lineker or Shearer!

[Huntley & Palmer]

I think Robbie Keane would get in.....he's better than Heskey, Crouch, Cole and is probably on par with Defoe

Keane is too similar to Rooney for me to stand out, don't think the two of them together would work particuarly well

[Deathy]

Given

O'shea Terry Ferdinand Cole
Beckham Lampard Ireland Gerrard
Rooney Doyle

No Scots, N'Ireland or Welsh. Good boy!

And Ireland is 'retired' from international football until he changes his mind.

If you'd found room for any of:
Duncan Edwards
Tom Finney
Johnny Haynes
John Charles
Ivor Allchurch
Danny Blanchflower
Billy Bremner
Dennis Law
Kenny Dalgeish
Alan Rough

I'd have approved.

Including Joe Jordan ahead of Law and Charles is a hearty LOL.

Northern Ireland token chap on bench.

So why did you pick two Scots then?

For the record, I think Hutton would get in on his own merits, a good an attacking full back that can actually defend and read the game.
