Lot of great drafts have been done on here and the education I have received of older players has been phenomenal and thoroughly enjoyable.

So five hours in the car with a mate and we've run out of chat, banter and topics. He asks, all time eleven and off the cuff on the M25 we leap in.

Caveats, take turns to pick and cannot select the same players.

First selection, best England eleven of all time:

Him

Seaman
G Nev
Pearce
Moore
Ferdinand

Gascoigne
Ince
Gerrard

Beardsley
Owen
Sherear

Me

Banks
Kyle Walker
Butcher
Des Walker
Cole

Robson
Charlton
Carrick

Barnes
Lineker
Rooney

We did a world eleven, but weren't so strict on the rules and more so players we liked watching or would enjoy in a team.

Him

Buffon
Cafe
Maldini
Van Dijk
Puyol

Zidane
Pirlo
Kante

Maradona
Messi
Batistuta

Me

Schmeichel
Cafe
Marcelo
Chiellini
Godin

Pirlo
Matthaus
Keane
Laudrup

Ronaldo
Batistuta

So cafe a question;

Which teams do you prefer?

Which teams would win against each other?

Who would you pick?

I think both of those matches would be close.

My All Time England XI would be as follows:

GK: Gordon Banks
RB: Jimmy Armfield
CB: Neil Franklin
CB: Bobby Moore
LB: Ashley Cole
CM: Bryan Robson
CM: Duncan Edwards
RW: Stanley Matthews
AM: Bobby Charlton
LW: Tom Finney
ST: Harry Kane

There appears to be a distinct lack of Scholes in your team... understandable I guess if it's purely based on performance for England, cant really blame him for being shunted out left a lot though
