Lack of Ugo love here is criminal. I know he never played at a top, top club, but I loved watching him play.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hansen
Ferdinand
Butcher
Adams
Walker
Terry

I would obviously have had Moore in had I seen him play a bit, but I was 3 when he retired (I think). Hansen is probably the best I have ever seen in the UK game. Utterly brilliant defender.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can't believe I am the first to put Butcher in. Staggered.

[Deutsch Wolf]

On to right midfielders - as ever, make sure you pick someone who genuinely played there. Back to three picks, open until after the CL final tomorrow.

Mods, if you could sort the title please.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

David Beckham
Steve McManaman
Ray Houghton

I know Waddle played on the right a lot for England as Sir Bob couldn't make his mind up between him and Barnes and ended up fudging the issue...but he wasn't really a right winger.

Toyed with the idea of Bale but again, he's left sided for me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

End result is that our final back four corresponds exactly with the first choice England defence from the 2006 World Cup. Which I don't think is a bad thing at all, that was a stupidly strong setup. All of those players were key defenders for teams regularly making the latter stages of the Champions League at the time.

 

[Tony Towner]

Steve Coppell
Ray Houghton
David Beckham

 

[Del Woppio]

Becks.
Erm
Fucking hell we've had some shit.
Waddle? No he was left wasn't he.
Erm.
McManaman
Dunno probs fucking Walcott

 

[Jinky]

Walcott? :icon_lol:

Might as well pick David Bentley you absolute cockpocket. Remove yourself.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

David Beckham
Liam Brady
going to have to ponder third place, but those two are massive stand outs.

Edit - I will go for Coppell as third

 

[Del Woppio]

Walcott? :icon_lol:

Might as well pick David Bentley you absolute cockpocket. Remove yourself.

I actually thought about picking me tbf

 

[Tony Towner]

David Beckham
Liam Brady
going to have to ponder third place, but those two are massive stand outs.

Wasn't Brady a left footed centre mid?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Played on the right in the 1979 fa cup final, although the infamous winner came from his cross on the left. He played across the attacking midfield, and I have other LM

 

[Nando]

Err, this is tough for somebody only able to view from the mid/late 90's onwards.

David Beckham
Steve McManaman
Joe Cole

Debatable whether Cole is an option there, but I can't pick Walcott, Lennon or SWP.
