Some of the above are representative of teams I have loved watching rather than necessarily the best players or my favourite player from that team so I could make a realistic squad.

I'd rather watch Iniesta or Xavi than Puyol though I thought he was a really gutsy centre back.
Pele was one of the greatest players I've seen and Jarzinho and others were wonderful from 1970 but I loved the 82-86 Brazil team and Socrates was pivotal.
Platini was a complete corrupt tosser as an administrator but was a delight to watch in a wonderful French team.

When I started watching football the home internationals were a must watch.
Players like Jimmy Johnstone were never seen in England and were great to watch. Danny McGrain was a superb fullback.
Gazza remains the most talented English player I've seen.
 
Ignoring the rules. Just my favourite eleven individuals, not a team.
Yashin.
Maldini.
Del Sol (Spain), just for his name.
