Following on from the successful World XI thread, this is your chance to follow it up with the best that the UK and Ireland have produced.
The voting system is as follows; when we're picking for a position that only has one candidate (you only ever have one keeper, one right back etc), you get three picks to put in order - first choice gets three points, second choice two, third choice one. Once the voting for each position is done, I'll tot up all the points and the winner comes out in our own form of democracy. For centre halves, you get six picks as there'll be two of them. Same system, six points for pick one down to one point for pick six. Any newcomers, just have a look at the other thread if you're not sure. It's pretty self-explanatory.
Three differences this time - I'm extending the timeframe back to 1970. This gives the oldies a chance to tell us how everything was much better in their day and also for those who are a bit younger to pick players that they quite obviously didn't see properly but want to look cool
Seriously, pick who you like, ideally off your own frame of reference but who am I to tell you what to do. And also - to fit with mainstream British tactics over the last 47 years, we will be playing 4-4-fucking-2. Finally, at the end I'll be asking you to pick three selections to manage this team - from the UK & Ireland - and we'll also flip back to the World thread and you'll pick three managers there as well (from outside UK/Ire).
Same rules apply, don't go picking players in positions that they scarcely or realistically never played. It's up to you to make the case that your man deserves to go in for their proper position! Discussion is, as ever, welcome as we go along.
Keeper voting is now open and will close at around 6pm tomorrow.
The team so far:
-----------------------David Seaman---------------------------------
Gary Neville-------Rio Ferdinand-----John Terry--------Ashley Cole
David Beckham-----Roy Keane-------Paul Scholes------Ryan Giggs
----------------Alan Shearer--------Wayne Rooney-----------------------
Manager: Alex Ferguson
