Draft idea. Requires thought. 8 players minimum.

[lifetime fan]

By you maybe

Cant remember many others commentingon him. Could be wrong mind.

 

I know for a fact I couldn't have been involved in that draft.

 

Brilliant pick.

[Allan]

I had Danny McGrain in the smaller nations draft.

 

He only appears in that one draft thread when you search the FF for his name.

 

Lee had him in the World Cup Draft on the MF back in 2014.

[lifetime fan]

He's a quality player and a great pick.

 

I'll still win.

[The Golden Eel]

Done - I dislike that little meff but he was undoubtedly an extremely good player

[Bjornebye]

Best lb in the world for 3 or 4 years

[The Golden Eel]

Best lb in the world for 3 or 4 years

 

He's probably in the top 5 best left backs of the past 25 years. He really is a complete tool though

[Lee909]

My team is done just waiting on the next pick in the slight off chance he isnt playing Boyd or deBoer as his LB

[Pidge]

He's probably in the top 5 best left backs of the past 25 years. He really is a complete tool though

 

Maldini wrote that fucking list.

 

Sorry, prematurely boosting my side.  Was kind of hoping I'd get my last picks in tonight before driving back west. Going to have to drop the mic tomorrow instead.

Toss up between phil Thompson & rio Ferdinand as my England pick ... but Thompsons got the European cups so he gets the nod. Scott Carson too to complete my team please as Championship player; those who would pick between my 10th and 11th all have one already

[Lee909]

 

 

Delighted

 

Some might not know Nilton Santos but he was a pioneering fullback. The first too really get forward and attack. Member of the 1954 World Cup Squad and a winner in 58 and 62

16 years and over 700 games with his one club Botafogo and 75 caps for Brazil

 

 

Finished of with Bergomi

Started as a RB but moved inside at times and more often as he got older.

Normally the man overlooked as the great Italian defender because of AC dominance. Another one club man 756 games for Inter and 85 for Italy

Added both to the selection thread.

 

PM sent to Mr. Tash.

[Pidge]

I'm back and it's up to RT and me to pick next.  Since I've just driven across the country doubt I'll be up early and I believe RT just has the Current LFC and Non-LL,PL,SA,BL one to go.  Neither of mine fit into those categories so I'm going to go ahead and complete mine.

[Pidge]

So, because I'm falling asleep, done this quickly.  Might improve it later:

 

 

edit: oh, and yeah, it was Platini. The cunt.

[lifetime fan]

No one has England, or gone into management left so I'll take Bryan Robson. 

 

Hate picking the manc pisshead but he was class.

[lifetime fan]

Where do I collect my winners medal?

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Ive finished mine due to others already having a Championship player. Considering its arguably the most competitive league in Europe there isn't half some absolute dross in there. 

 

If by any miracle everyone can get their picks finished and team posted by 11:30 on here then i'll have this live before the old firm kicks off at 12. 

 

 

Happy with that. My front 3 with the 2 CM's behind is as good if not better than how I think anyones will shape up despite some cracking teams. 

 

Kuszczak - One of a bad bunch from the championship but certainly a better keeper than the likes of Ruddy and Green. Spent 5 years at the Mancs as understudy to Van Der Sar. Hair like H from Steps. 

 

McNamara - "In his first game against the r*ngers he outshone their megastars, he run them ragged everywhere and drove their fans insane, you can bet your bottom dollar we have found the new McGrain" One of my favourite players growing up as I was a full back myself. Used to model my game on a miix of him and Maldini. More McNamara to be fair (Only because i'm right footed....) 10 years as 1st choice RB for Celtic. Hair like Harry Potter

 

Patrik Andersson - 96 caps for Sweden, played for Bayern Munich and Barcelona. One of the top CB's of his ear and the best scandinavian CB of all time. Hair like Tom Hardy. 

 

Taribo West - Major part of the Nigeria squad that won gold in the Atalanta Olympics in 96, played for Inter. Predominantly a LB but played as a CB as well. Hair like , well Taribo West 

 

Milner - People were picking current Liverpool players too quick and after Mane and Coutinho had gone Milner was always going to be my next pick. versatile, great work rate and attitude. been excellent at LB for us. One of Klopps shrewdest moves since he has been at the club. Badly wish we had signed this fella earlier in his career. Hair like Billy Elliot. 

 

McMahon - My bone crusher, my ball winner, my hard-man. Toss and blew over him or Robson but needed a solid DM so Neeskens could roam. Hair like David Speedie.

 

Neeskens - the best Dutch midfielder of all time, often named straight after Cryuff when people talk about the great dutch sides of 74 and 78. Goal scoring centre midfielder, cracking player, 2 footed. Hair like a ZZ Top beard. 

 

Jairzinho - World cup winner, flying winger, powerful. 33 goals in 81 games for Brazil in an era when they were by far the best side on the planet. Had hair like Jim Kelly (Williams from Enter The Dragon) 

 

Totti - SPQR

 

Zidane - The greatest player of his generation in a generation that arguably had the most pound for pound world class player. The best player i've seen in the flesh. Unreal ball control, great set piece player, impossible to man mark. Hair like Ross Kemp. 

 

Rush - Liverpools top goalscorer of all time, one of the greatest strikers of all time. Thinks Italy is like being abroad. Hair like a microphone. Tache like me dads. 

[The Golden Eel]

No one has England, or gone into management left so I'll take Bryan Robson.

 

Hate picking the manc pisshead but he was class.

I have gone into management left... It's OK though, I won't be picking Bryan Robson.

[The Golden Eel]

After Jaaskelainen, Green is the best keeper you could pick in the Championship IMO. He was excellent for West Ham. One of best keepers in the Premier League for a season or two. Kuzc has never been anything remotely like that

[Rushies tash]

 

Fairly happy with that, especially getting Eder at the end. Always picked him playing footy as a kid after the 82 world cup.

[Bjornebye]

Jaaskelainen yes but not the other two. Green is terrible. 

[The Golden Eel]

Jaaskelainen yes but not the other two. Green is terrible.

Nah. His reputation is unfairly damaged because he made a high profile fuck up for England.

[The Golden Eel]

While I'm in the mood for arguing, I'm not sure Taribo West was predominantly a left back, I remember him as a centre back.

[Bjornebye]

He played in both positions but I remember him mainly as a CB myself. 

 

Anyway, regarding the keepers, we all had to pick a shite player and I don't think I've come out all THAT bad. 

[Street Preacher]

As far as I could tell, everyone had picked their keepers or championship players so I went with Alex Smithies the Q.P.R keeper.

[lifetime fan]

I have gone into management left... It's OK though, I won't be picking Bryan Robson.

 

Apologies, take him if you want.
