My mistake! Remember him so vividly in the late 90s double winning team .. overlooked he'd debuted almost 20 years before! 

 

Will edit now.

Youve taken my GK and 2/3 of my CBs here.

You can't. Debut in 83.

Iuliano, real underrated player.

As is Alphonse areola. Very good GK and part of successful France WC squad, both u20 and Senior...

[TheHowieLama]

Areola is a bit of a tit imo

It doesn't bode well that we're less than halfway through, and already people feel the need to surreptitiously justify their picks.

Was looking at Thiago but unsure how it would go down as he has always been known as Thiago more so than Alcantare

I thought we nixed Brazilians who're known by their first names?

It was just by their most common football name. Otherwise Alisson would not be a legit pick. I have no issue with Thiago to be honest just wasn't sure how the pick would be regarded

[Guest Alex_K]

Would have taken Sonny Andersson down the line .. defining memories of him in that Barcelona team with Rivaldo as if it was yesterday. Wiki-ed him to find out he only played about 45 games for Barca .. less than half Moreno has played for us. Weird how the mind plays tricks when young.

 

Albelda totally went over my head -- great pick too.

 

Will update mine in a sec then it is @DimReaper

Alcantara is Thiago's known surname, though. And even though he's of Brazilian descent, he's Spanish. If there's objection, I'll pick someone else right now. 

[The Golden Eel]

Thiago was one of the ones I asked Stig about last night, he said it's fine. 

[Bjornebye]

 

Alcantara is fine. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Fine, but I reserve the right to sulk about this and post passive aggressive remarks when voting begins. It's only fair.

[The Golden Eel]

I think it's a slight anomaly, and there are a couple of others too, where although they're commonly referred to as one thing, you do still hear them referred to as another. 

[Guest Alex_K]

Plumped with my namesake.

 

@DimReaper, your turn.
