Legends XI

[Rocket-footed kolarov]

Can we assemble a team of club legends, rules are they have to be a true club legend; no cult heros and 2 only 1 player per club.


this is the back four I am going with

Zanetti (Inter) Puyol (Barca) Aldair (Roma) Maldini (Milan)

Can't decide on whether to go for Casillas or Buffon in goal, are there better options as a GK?

Trautmann

Good shout, Trautman was a top keeper in his day and has most of what I was looking for; Undoubted legend, long career and loads of appearances at club, class player only snag is medals; he only won the 1956 FA Cup in a 15 year career at our Club, even Aldair of Roma has won more medals. It is either him or Iker Casillas. If we go with Bert I would go for Raul (Real) as one of the strikers and Mancini (Samp) at CAM.

Surely Bobby Moore has to be in the back four

Surely Bobby Moore has to be in the back four

Good point I didn't think of him, although would he be as much as a legend for West Ham if he was n't an England legend? Mainly looking for club legends first and foremost, out of the back four I picked only Puyol's international achievements are as good as those for his club. Also Aldair was important part in one of Roma's great teams just like Zanetti, Puyol and Maldini were for their clubs.

Zidane?

 

[Rocket-footed kolarov]

Zidane?

Yeah if you go for him you take up Real's allocation,

This is my front three Di Stefano (Real) Eusébio (Benfica) Pele (Santos)

Other candidates for the team are Edgar Davids (Juve) including him to give the midfield balance, Roberto Mancini (Samp), Rivelino (Corinthians), Zico (Flamengo) Garrincha (Botofogo); gone for the Brazilians as they are shining lights and don't have much competition to be their clubs' representatives.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Totti

 

[Rocket-footed kolarov]

Totti

Yeah he was under consideration, but only want one legend from one club, having Aldair means we don't end up with Hansen or Pallister, Bruce Etc because you can't have any one from the Milan Clubs because of Maldini and Zanetti and the best alternatives for CD are Gaetano Scirea (Juve), Franz Beckenbaur (Bayern)and abit uncomfortable playing a sweeper as a conventional Centre Back and it means players like Matthaus or Oliver Kahn can't be picked for Bayern or others for Juve. Plus the number of stand out forwards is greater than stand out defenders.
