Nationalities XI

[summercamp]

In the Football365 mailbox, contributors have been trying to make up their best team based on nationalities. Obviously it's a but easier for prem teams but i thought this may make a nice thread to alleviate the boredom.

This is my team based on players I've seen (started going in the mid 80's - no loan players included). The goalkeeper was a real struggle! I've gone for a classic 4-4-2

GK Martyn Margetson (Wales)
RB Jason Demetriou (Cyprus)
CB Efe Sodje (Nigeria)
CB Mark Lapper (USA)
LB Steven Hammell (Scotland)
RM Jamal Campbell-Ryce (Jamaica)
CM Bilel Mohsni (Tunisia)
CM Franck Moussa (Belgium)
LM Ronnie Whelan (Ireland)
FW Shaun Goater (Bermuda)
FW Stan Collymore (England)

Take care everyone.

Federici over Margetson I would say

 

[Napster]

mind you, I never saw him but George McKenzie in goal is our most capped player for Ireland.

 

[Napster]

and older folk would argue for Eddie Firmani up front.

 

[RobM]

Mohsni at CM? I'd try him in place of Goater - tough call though

 

[OldBlueLady]

No Freddy? ?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Surely Freddie has to be in?

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

and older folk would argue for Eddie Firmani up front.

just wiki'd the great man thinking he must be dead but he's still with us at 86. His stats are unbelievable. How on earth did we get him.

No Freddy? ?

Only one Wales spot, and I couldn't think of another keeper!
