    That's 25 years in new money. Please excuse my liberal solution to the problematic left wing. :)


    David Seaman

    Gary Neville, Tony Adams, Sol Campbell, Stewart Pierce

    David Beckham, Stephen Gerrard, Paul Gascoigne, Ashley Cole

    Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker

    Wow - pretty much who I would pick too. Assuming you mean Stuart Pearce (sorry, it's the spelling Nazi in me). The only difference for me would be Glenn Hoddle in midfield (removing your new-found left winger, tosspot Cole) - Hoddle just sneaks in under the 25-year ruling. If you want more balance, then maybe John Barnes, but he never really performed that well in an England shirt, with a couple of notable exceptions.

    Just goes to show how poor the current crop is that we would both include only Gerrard and Beckham from the last 5 years or so.

    I'd swap Gerrard for Bryan Robson, Cole for Chris Waddle and Adams for Des Walker. And the first name on my subs list would be Peter Beardsley.

    Always thought Nigel Martin was quality and should have had a lot more caps.

    Problem with nigel Martyn was when he did play for England he didn't do too brilliantly.

    Seaman

    Neville
    Butcher
    Ferdinand
    Cole

    Beckham
    Lampard
    Gascoigne
    Scholes (played there in euro 2004 and looked good)

    Sheringham
    Lineker

    How about turning it on its head - worst eleven from the same period?

    Chris Kirkland (Scott Carson came close)

    David Bardsley
    Zat Knight
    Anthony Gardner
    Michael ball

    Stuart ripley
    Carlton palmer
    Gavin McCann
    Alan Thompson

    Michael ricketts
    Brian Deane

    Beckham Gerrard Hargreaves

    Rooney

    Shearer Owen

    Can't remember much pre 1998 so can't really put Gazza in my team despite how good he undoubtedly was. Hargreaves might be controversial but he bossed the midfield in 06.

    There are some high achievers in there Hemsmacher!! Legends!! :)

    It must have been Theo's one good game against Croatia in 2008 that got him the nod over Lineker, Owen, Shearer and the others with 20+ goals that you could have had.

    14 FA cup's between back 4 or 11 Premier league winners.
    Cole's won the most FA cup's individually since it started. Can't get better than that for the world oldest and best Football knock out cup.

    Edit, that should be 13 Premier league winners medals between back four.
