very under rated player but can't for the life of me understand how he can be in any world XI.

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 .

No Zidane?? Are you feeling alright?????

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

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 (I've probably forgotten a few others though...)

[Green_Hoop]

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

[inexile]

Zoff
Gentile-Ayala-Passarella-Maldini
Keane
Matthaus-Platini-Zidane
Maradona
Cruijff-Van Basten

Argie-Italo defence
Keano the leader
German efficiency and French flair in midfield
Maradona magic
Double Dutch up front
