I'm a big fan of Sky Sports' The Fantasy Football Club and especially where the ex pro picks their all time 1-11 from their ex team mates. Taking this and running with it what is the best 1-11 you can pick from the team you support? You must have seen them play.


I'm a Middlesbrough fan, so here is mine;


GK - Stephen Pears. Brilliant shot stopper. Called into a few England squads but injury prevented him ever getting a cap.
CB - Gareth Southgate. Brilliant game reader.
CB - Jonathan Woodgate. Injury prone but undoubted world class in his pomp.
LB - Christian Ziege. Awesome in defence and attack. No loyalty though!
RB - Danny Mills. Our weakest area. Was either him, Luke Young or Neil Cox. Decent 7/10 solid performer.
CM - Emerson. Outstanding, when he could be bothered. Best single performance in a Boro shirt I've seen.
CM - Gaizka Mendieta. Couldn't believe we signed him. Awesome, but injury prone. World class. Settled in the area after hanging his boots up.
RM - Stuart Ripley. Boyhood hero. Seemed to get a goal or an assist every game.
LM - Stuart Downing. Best crosser of a ball from the left side England have had. Lost his way when he left us but a quality player.
AM - Juninho. World Cup winner. Local legend. Top, top player.
FW - Fabrizio Ravenelli. Again couldn't believe we signed him.

Being a Rangers fan this won't be easy.....granted, I'll need to go back a few years for my picks!!

GK - Andy Goram (the goalie)

RB - Sandy Jardine
LB - Arthur Numan
CB - Terry Butcher
CB - Richard Gough

LW - Davy Cooper
CM - Graeme Souness
CM - Paul Gascoine
RM - Brian Laudrup

FWD - Mark Hateley

CB - Oleg kutznetzov (for the one game he was fit!! Lol)
CB / DM - Frank de Boer
RM / FWD - Alexei Mikaelichenko

Had to leave out a couple of world cup winners in that team and Ian Ferguson. but I reckon they could give most teams a run for their money. You'll note there's no current players in my team though. :(

Edit: That Souness must have been a helluva player, in 3 teams already! Lol

As a Liverpool fan, Ziege was one of my biggest disappointments. Absolutely made up when we got him - his tacking was very poor though. OK going forward, but a real let down, overall. For Germany he looked awesome.

Ziege was superb in that on season for Boro going forward and in defence. I was pleased he went off boil after he left us, especially after the way you signed him. To be fair though a good bit of business for Liverpool as you saved yourselves in the region of £3m and were only punished £20k! I honestly think he was perfect for your system at the time but suffered numerous injuries which hampered his ability to get up and down the touch line as he used to and also left him shy in the tackle. Middlesbrough fans were used to mercenaries and has beens either coming to put themselves in the shop window while on mega wages or coming for one last payday before retiring. Ziege was an exception to this due to the quality of his performances and despite the circumstances of his departure I remember him as a top notch footballer.

Like I said, not an easy one to pick. Kanchelskis was fantastic, but I'd have Coop and Laudrup before him. :)

He does not even come close to them pair, not even close.

The Holy Goalie

Didier Agathe - Johan Mjalby - Marc Reiper - Tosh McKinlay

Paul 'The Maestro' McStay

Paulo Di Canio - Paul Lambert - Lubo

King Henrik - Macca

I would pay serious money to have watched them play as an eleven.

I'd have paid more not to!!! lol

Macca. Always a thorn in our side, mind you Butcher, Roberts and Woods weren't long with him!!
If I mind right Rangers offered to pay Maccas legal fees for that particular stramash before Celtic coughed up. Macca repaid the offer by buying them all fish suppers after the court hearing! Lol
