England Fooball Legends

[Snelly 0]

I noticed some footy banter in my previous post so I thought I would start a new topic on a debate that will rage in pubs until the end of time.

 

Who would be in your all time best England 11? Or Scotland, Wales or Ireland of course.... Or a GB side would be interesting too...

 

My England team would be as follows....... sort of 4-3-3

 

1 Banks

2 Cohen

3 Moore

4 Butcher

5 Pearce

6 Charlton

7 Finney

8 Gascoigne

9 Rooney

10 Lineker

11 Matthews

 

 

My GB team would be 4-4-2;

 

 

1 Banks

2 McGrain

3 Moore

4 Hansen

5 Pearce

6 Charlton

7 Best

8 Gascoigne

9 Dalglish

10 Law

11 Giggs

 

 

Of course, it's just a bit of fun eh??

I wouldn't have Giggs but I'd have Rush in any team like that. I'd like Beardsley in there too, but then I would

ONE RED TIM, i AM SITTING HERE WITHA FRAMED 3' X 4' SHOT OF JIMMY SKINNING 2 DEFENDERS BEHIND ME. I WILL LEND U HIS VIDEO FOR ANYONE WHO DOBUTS HIS ABILITIES. THE BIT IN THE EASTERN BLOCK IS AMAZING, CELTIC ARE AWAY TO I CANT REMEMBER WHO AND THERE MUST BE 125 - 130 OOO THERE AND EVERYTIME JJ TOUCHES THE BALL THEY ROAR IN ANTICIPATION!!!!! RAISES THE NECK HAIRS. He only ever got a handful of caps for scotland. Shocking.

 

I am named after Danny Mcgrain!!, Met him about 2 years ago and he was a complete gentleman.

I can only speak for players in my lifetime but I think that in midfield The best bRITISH PLAYERS have been Roy Keane and David Platt. Keane was booked in the semi final vs. Juventus in 98-99 champs league meaning he would miss the final. Utd are 2 - 0 down. It should be the law for all footy players to watch his performance for the next mins. As a midfielder I could watch that again and again. Breathtaking.

David Platt was born out of his time, He would easily be worth £30 - 40 million today. He carried England for at least 3 years , he had everything, touch,vision tackle skill, stamina , pace and could finish. In all, him and Frank Lampard are the most complete attack Minded midfielders ever IMHO.

 

 

ohh and John Robertson at forest a quick quote. MON said to Cloughie at a team talk "What am I to do today Boss?"

Cloughie says"Martin, You give the ball to Robbo, Your the Hood carrier!"

 

But how can you mention England Legends without Shearer???

A player who when the chips are down or when his team are being overran, has always stood up to be counted
