You picked Justin Fashanu ahead of Garrincha!?!?!?
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Where are you going with Puerta?? Or Alan Ball?? Or Escobar!!
For this type of thing .. you need to be an old man ... or able to name off players who have died young .. because you're only going on clips and hearsay and players who normally make these kind of teams IMO
GK: John Thomson
I think how you go should add to your inclusion. Escobar should get in because he has a bar named after him in Aarhus.
In Trap we trust
Alfredo Di Stefano is still alive
GK: Lev Yashin - Best Goalkeeper Ever.
fair enough then .. actually perhaps we could all come up with a team of players with bars after their names
here's mine
O Flaherty's in Galway after the great Ricky Flea, St Pats legend of the late 90s
Escobar in Aarhus
now I'm struggling ..
What of Puskas? ...won't someone think of Puskas?
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Lev Yahsin is much much better than that lad.
Kom Igen, FCK...
More to be added:
Nikolai Starostin
Eduard Streltsov
Kazimierz Deyna
Kom Igen, FCK...
Stanley Matthews
Jimmy Johnstone
Giacinto Facchetti
That is a mighty relief

Bit of a ridiculous thread, just name a great teams from the early 50s back and you should be safe enough! apart from those mentioned there's Meazza, Piola, Hidegkuti, Kocsis, Woodward, Grosics, Ocwirk, Hapgood, daSilva ...............................

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Vittorio Pozzo has to be the coach. He was coach of an Italian team that were World Champions for 16 years after all !
What happened to poor Justin?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
One of the first million pound footballers, his star quickly waned. Sometime in the 90s, he came out in some tabloid, and put the willies up professional football in Britain (Oh no, no people!). Died in controversial circumstances - suicide following allegations of some kind of sexual assault on a minor.
I'm sure the interweb can give you a more clear cut outline of the story, but that is what I can recall of it. Passably good footballer in his earlier career (Norwich?), but after the big move it all started to tumble.
And definitely NOT better than Garricha!
