FFS - this is chaos now, a free for all. We lack discipline on this thread - we bring dishonour to the forum.

True - I started this in a 'can't sleep' mode when you need stupid rules and so on.

Agree with Kohler though - what a brilliant centre back he was. Champions League winner, World Cup Winner - a superb player.

Schmeichel
Maldini
Baresi
Curly Watts
Stam
Maldini
Iceman
Fat Ronaldo
Ian Botham
Jammy Savile
Dwight Yorke

Just thought, where would Ronnie rank in the greatest European players ever?

Arguably top 5? Genuinely think he could already be top 3.

Ohhhh, now there's a shout. New thread maybe? Top 3 greatest ever European players... Who said this summer would drag...


People would still include £#%&!ing Rivaldo or somethin' though.

Zico was one of the greatest players in history

I've ignored his scottish relatives and replced him with Platini anyway so what's the problem?

My team is unbeatable


Jennings, Keane, Hierro, Matthaus, Boban, Robson, Platini, Cruyff, Ronaldo, Giggs, Donadoni

Absolute Fail!! Got totally carried away with the excitement of it!!

So... the modified team:

Schmeichel (Denmark)

Lahm (Germany)
Vidic (Serbia)
Ferdinand (England)
Maldini (Italy)

Xavi (Spain)
Zidane (France)
Keane (Ireland)

Ronaldo (Portugal)
Van Basten (Holland)
Giggs (Wales)

Whats the policy on picking players that had retired but were still alive in your 'era'? Frowned upon or what?
