Favourite Players XI

[bennyboy]

Ignoring the rules. Just my favourite eleven individuals, not a team.
Yashin.
Maldini.
Del Sol (Spain), just for his name.
Duncan Edwards.
Jean Tigana (France)
Florian Albert (Hungary).
Cruyff.
John Charles
Eusebio
Pak Do Ik (N. Korea)
Jim Baxter.

Manager: Brian Clough.

Yashin before Bert.

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Yashin before Bert.

Bert above all but only rule I kept to was no City players.

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

René Higuita (COL)

Philipp Lahm (DEU), Franco Baresi (ITA), Andoni Goikoetxea (ESP)

Siniša Mihajlović (SRB), Zvonimir Boban (HRV), Arie Haan (NLD), Socrates (BRA),

Enzo Francescoli (URY), Igor Belanov (USSR), Zbigniew Boniek (POL)

Subs:

Bodo Ilgner (DEU)
Pietro Vierchowod (ITA)
Jan Ceulemans (BEL)
Jean-Pierre Papin (FRA)
Michael Laudrup (DNK)

A bit light at the back, numbers-wise, but this lot would win 8-3 against most opposition.
