Absolutely delighted with those results, I have to say; very much looking forward to the tournament. Massive thanks to Rohana, and Guy Fawkes.

I'm glad it isn't just me; thought I was turning into Ben's Grandad! I'll post the categories tomorrow morning; have them all written down in a dossier elsewhere.

Thanks Rohana! Subs are: Hernan Crespo, Peter Crouch, Dave Watson, Geremi, Kevin Pressman (GK)

My starting lineup:

How are people getting their formations to display in that way, please? Edit: if only I'd had the courtesy to read Rohana's post in full :facepalm:

Right, my catch up pick then. In the spirit of the game I've gone for a sub keeper. Frutos nicked Dave Beasant - who, I remain convinced, should have been brought on after 119 minutes in the 1990 World Cup semi final - so I've gone for another penalty specialist. OK, not the most glamorous, but...

This thread will get controversial enough when the voting starts, without opening a second front in that particular war :wink:

Why you little... Rohana is there any rule to say we need to have a keeper on the bench?

He has indeed, a couple of us had to go back to the drawing board at the time.

Agreed. I even had a picture lined up of him being strangled by Harold Bishop. :tantrum:

He would definitely get into the team of players who don't fit the categories!

Apologies, everyone. God, tapatalk is awful, is it not? My next pick combines solidity, quality, longevity and a nice personal memory. He won the old Division One with Everton in 1987, and remained a stalwart there until 2001, captaining them to the FA Cup in 1995. On a personal note, at...

Ok, well my next pick only played two seasons in the league, but in his first he helped Chelsea finish second and reach the Champions League semi finals (not as run of the mill as that would be today), and in his second, was a key part of, in my view, one of the best three or four PL winning...

Good stuff. What an entertainer he was. Even made turning up at Newcastle airport into an event!

I really wanted to pick him but couldn't find a category for him.

I'd be interested to see if we can come up with a team of players who fit none of the categories. I've got a player I'd love to pick, but can't. Somebody else had one earlier as well.

I like almost everything about Slaven Bilic, and then I remember the World Cup semi final...

It is a great pick and, together with Cullip4 picking Ivan Campo, has pissed me right off!

My next pick is the perfect squad player, who can slot in across the defence and midfield and do an excellent job wherever he's asked to play. He's won the Cameroon league, La Liga, two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups, and two Champions Leagues. He's been relegated from and...

Don't mind if I do. Who better to come off the bench than the joint top scorer of headed goals in Premier League history? By the time the draft is finished he may even moved ahead of Alan Shearer. He fills a few categories, and came up with one of the best comments by a footballer ever...
