No thats why I'm asking. To be honest we struggled with both full backs, still the case now.

Can everyone pick twelve?

And Mendy? At rightback? Jeeeezuz.

Mine:

Jaaskelainen

Bergsson-N'gotty-Cahill-Gardner

-----------Hierro----Okocha-------
----------------Youri----------------
------SKD--------------------Eidur--
---------------Anelka----------------


Took ages to decide which way round to put Bruno and Gudni. Candela/Gardner was hard too.

Worthington better than Walker, who was excellent at 3rd division level, and good at second, but didn't win as many Scotland caps as McGinlay, and never came close to showing he could compete at English PL level - having struggled at SPL...

Any post-war Wanderers team that fails to include Okocha is discredited immediately...

Peter Thomson better than Alan Thompson at everything other than shooting and getting yellow cards... Compare England caps won. Only people who didn't see both play could think otherwise...

Branagan

N'Gotty Bergsson P Jones Gardner

McAteer Okocha Djorkaeff A Thompson

Worthington Anelka

Subs: Jussi, Cahill, Reid, P Thompson, McGinlay

Despite Jussi's longer time at the top, I'll always be convinced that Branagan had the edge of the two.
I was a bit too young to fully appreciate Peter Thompson and never saw Freddie Hill or Franny Lee. Neil Whatmore just misses out.

We're probably belsses in the forwards more than anywhere else.

I never saw Wynn Davies play, for example, or Neil Whatmore. But my dad rated both highly. Stiff competition alongside Youri, Eidur, SKD, Anelka, SJM.....Ricketts...??
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Why 1964?
Does this year have some significance or particular benchmark?

Just curious

Who would be the manager of this dream team? Safe to say Sammy Lee is the manager of bettyrasta's team!
French centre-back currently without club, will consider any role. Experienced plumber.
