Your team's Best Historic XI

Post  worldfootballhere on Tue May 26, 2009 6:23 pm

ARSENAL Seaman, Samson, Campbell, Adams, Keown, Pires, Vieria, Brady, Henry, Bergkamp, Wright

CHELSEA Bonetti, Terry, Desailly, Harris, Essien, Wise, Lampard, Cole J, Zola, Dixon, Osgood

EVERTON Southall, Ball M, Ratcliffe, Lescott, Ball A, Kendall, Reid, Sheedy, Cahill, Dean, Gray

LIVERPOOL Clemence, Neal, Hanson, Lawrence, Carragher, Molby, Souness, Gerrard, Dalglish, Keegan, Rush

MAN UTD Peter Schmeichel-The Great Dane shot-stopper pulled of saves beyond belief and saved Bergkamp's penalty in the 99 Cup Final. Possibly the greatest ever
Denis Irwin-7 Premierships, 3 FA Cups and a Champions League for the free kick expert
Rio Ferdinand-Arguably England's best centre-back since Moore, Ferdinand's intelligence and positioning in defense have solidified United's defence
Nemanja Vidic-The Strong Serbian defender has within 3 years gained recognition as a world class defender
Gary Neville-United's long-term right-back, captain, supported Beckham on United's right-hand side that was such a weapon during the late 90s
Bryan Robson-United's captain marvel, longest serving captain, and british record transfer, goal-scoring but strong midfielder
Bobby Charlton-199 goals from 606 minutes, survived Munich in 58 and took United back to European glory 10 years later. The greatest long-shooter ever in English football.
Cristiano Ronaldo-Whisper it, the new Best, first United player to score 30 in a Prem season, scoring his 41st in all comps in the Moscow final
George Best-138 goals from 361 games, European player of the year 1968, epitimised by his performance in the European Cup final and his ability to dribble past defenders at will
Eric Cantona-King Eric's became a cult legend at United and can claim a lot of credit for their domination in the early Premiership years, not just for the 64 goals he scored.
Denis Law-The King scored 171 goals from 309 games, what more to say, the 1965 European footballer of the year was more than just a great finisher.

TOTTENHAM Pat Jennings (the best goalkeeper in the world-single handed)
Gary Mabbutt (despite lending his name to Coventry fanzine, he was a great Spurs defender)
Ledley King (Took the sting out of Sol Campbell's exit, captain fantastic when off the booze and the injury table)
Steve Perryman (my mum's childhood next door neighbour, oh and he's got Spurs' all-time appearance record)
Danny Blanchflower (player of the year 58, and Northern Ireland's original great winger)
Dave Mackay (diminutive hard man, got to grips with the opposition, Roy Keane of his era)
Paul Gascoigne (crazy genius, loved for his free-kick v Arsenal and so much more, left badly after a little break) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVMaIUSeRxA
Glenn Hoddle (the original Beckham, the greatest passer of the ball in English football, rubbish singer)
Ozzie Ardilles (Perhaps Ricky Villa's goal in 81 is more famous, but Ardilles' skill made him the Spurs and Argentina legend)
Jimmy Greaves (quite simply the most prolific striker in England history, 300 club goals and 40 for country)
Jurgen Klinsmann (dived continuously at Spurs, although mainly while celebrating the 20 goals he scored in 94/95)
