I've spent the last hour trying to do one for Cork but it's too hard.

You've the bones of a defence in Cantwell, Irwin and Delaney, plus the likes of Keano, Miller, Meyler and Stepehen Ireland in midfield. But you're scraping the barrel looking for a keeper, wingers or an attacker.

Paul McGrath as defender. Shay Given as goalkeeper. Damien Duff winger. John Aldridge and Robbie Keane as attackers maybe.

Proud Preston:

Alan Kelly
Mark Lawrenson, Phil Jones, Andrew Flintoff, Edith Rigby
Mike Summerbee, Kevin Kilbane, John Inman, Sir Richard Arkwright
Sir Tom Finney, Roy Barraclough

Actually the more I look at it the more gay it gets, but hey ho, Sir Tom Finney would have won it on his own anyway.
Is there no alternative to Phil Jones?

Yes actually, I've replaced him with Kenny Baker, the actor that was inside R2D2. Honestly, he was in there. Somewhat shorter than a traditional centre-half but more reliable than Jones, so he's in.
hahaha, brilliant, I like it

McGrath - London
Given - Donegal
Duff - Dublin
Aldridge - Liverpool
Keane - Dublin

My bad sorry. I misread an article on it earlier as I was still under the effects of strong medication.
Note to self. Don't post when not fully coherent :lol:

Thomas Delaney
Frank Arnesen - Lasse Schöne

Stretching the boundaries of Newcastle you can get:


Fraser Forster
Jack Charlton
Paul Dummett
Magic Chris Waddle
Michael Carrick
Peter Beardsley
Bobby Charlton
Paul Gascoigne
Bryan Robson
Jackie Milburn
Alan Shearer

Not much for defending and Dummett and Forster are hardly world class but then again they'd probably score 10 a game.

On a related note - Of the Celtic team that won the European Cup in1967, all but one member of the 15 man squad were born within 10 miles of Celtic Park.
Came in here to say this. The Lisbon Lions, first British team to win the European Cup. What an achievement that was.
