Cafu.he has an italian passport.

You could stick Duncan Edwards there.

Neville, Salgado, Puyol? In recent years anyway. What about Nobby Stiles, versatile little scamp?

Zambrotta always did well for me on Champ Manager.

Schmiecal

Irwin
Stam
Pallister
Brehme

Coppell
Robson
Keane
Charlton

Cantona
Hughes

Not bad. Maybe Banks in goal?

Thuram would probably rank above them.

Come on, there's gotta be a coffin-dodger on here with some better suggestions
