Yes I do think he's that under rated, but I'm sure many will disagree. If he hadn't missed 5 months of this season then Fulham would be safe right now. Hell I'll even make him captain ...... after Keane and Maldini ;).

My bench:

1. Seaman
2. Terry
3. Petit
4. Viera
5. Ljungberg (I expect a few arguments here but he was a huge asset for 3 or so years - bit of a toss up between him and Pires).
6. Cantona (boo)
7. Igor Stepa....... nah... Zidane :D

I only have the one defender on the bench because Thuram and Maldini can both be moved to their full back positions if necessary.

Honorable mention to Alan Shearer who I was happy to leave out :p (I've probably forgotten a few others though...)

Both were playing for Real until '64 at least,your not past it if your still playing for Real at that stage.

Double Dutch up front

Apologies to Batigol.
