Assistant Pro
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.
Subs
GK Schwarzer
CB Tony Mowbray
CM Robbie Mustoe
RM Adam Johnson
AM John Hendrie
FW Alen Boksic
FW Marco Branca
