Mine would be
Sir Alf Ramsey (Manager, can't argue with that)
Lineker Greavsie
80 caps, 48 goals 57 caps, 44 goals
Finney Robson Charlton Matthews
Kenny Samson Moore Adams/Butcher Cohen
Banks

Gascoigne
Gerrard
Shearer
Can't believe they put Becks on the right over Sir Stan :eek: :mad:
I was also surprised that our full backs havent been that brilliant over the years! Neville!!! Phil Neal!!!! :eek:
I would have had Bryan Robson if he wasnt always injured

The team that was chosen was a bit scary!
Finney, Gazza, Charlton & Becks; not much bite in midfield!
This is my ultimate all-time:
----------Banks---------
-----Wright---Moore-----
Armfield-----------Wilson
---------Robson---------
---Beckham---Charlton---
-Matthews--------Finney-
----------Lineker---------
Yeah *yawn* shock! 4-3-3, with only 1 true CF...
The only way to accomodate Becks/Matthews/Finney & Charlton, whilst also having a holding player (Robson) in the middle.
Jimmy Armfield didn't even make the last 3 for RB. Or Ray Wilson for LB. Stuart Pearce is way too slow & clumsy for my squad, thank you very much!
I would have had Bryan Robson if he wasnt always injuredyup always injured and still 90 caps for England, not too bad huh :cool:
heres my team
Sir Alf Ramsey - manager
Lineker Sir Alan
Gazza B. Charlton Robson Sir Stan
Pearce Moore Adams Billy Wright
Banks
Aaaah crap Jonny beat me to it bang on mate, 5th most capped english national player 90 apps 26 goals from centre mid how can you not pick Robson?

I pretty much agree with the team apart from beckham and possibly shearer. he didn't play for long enough, he should still be an england player now.
i was sweating with fear that gary neville could be given a place in an england legends team.
Butcher instead of Adams
Matthews instead of Beckham
Greaves instead of Shearer
I wouldnt have Becks, i dont think hes god enough

Team of stars, if I haven't made my feelings clear about Carlton palmer, I bloody hate him, the twat !!!
I didn't see the show, unfortunately, but I can't believe they didn't put Greavsie in there :shocking:.
Did they do a "who do you wish was English ?" bit, and did they go on about Duncan Edwards being the best ever player ever, like my Grandad used to, how come he's not there ? and Keegan, maradona said he was the best player he'd ever seen.

Yeah, looking at it again, LiamK's team does look slightly better than either the team I suggested or the joke that was chosen the other night.
Seems more balanced & the double threat of Franny & Les (no that isn't a 70's sit com) would give any all-time defence problems. ;)
In fact it's feasable to have them in the squad now...
Come on Sven, think Goddammit!
Carlton Palmer = midfield dynamo yesireee
Stan Collymore on the bench, right?
Sir Les ahead of Heskey? For shame :o
And and stevie the rules were a flat 4-4-2 formation so make a new team, and I hope sven was watching :mad:

what a great show, couple of surprises, stan matthews should have really been in there over beckham, butcher over adams, greavsy over shearer. hard to leave people out, but do it again in 20 years time, lets see then if beckham, owen, gerrard will be included!

Did they show that goal against Brasil, the best goal ever !
I'd say gerrard,scholes and rio will be in there in the future maybe rooney if he lives up to the hype.
Scholes is at the end of the career and if he isn't in there now he never will be
I'd say gerrard,scholes and rio will be in there in the future maybe rooney if he lives up to the hype.Rio u gotta be kidding me man, he maybe good but hes overrated and never gonna be a patch on Sir Bobby or King Tony
