    Having a double pick in this draft is a good advantage.

    A bit surprised Figo lasted this long as a good few people have had 'Other' pics so far.

    He was on my 2 man shortlist for my next pick, so you've made my mind up for me Marko!

    Since @V For Vendetta has to pick an Italian player and seeing as I have already done a write up.

    I'll go for the 3 time South American Player of the Year - Elías Figueroa.

    [​IMG]

    image.png

    Known as "Don Elías", Figueroa was noted for having a keen ability to neutralize attacks as a defender with his great reading of the game and tight marking ability. Figueroa also had the ability to start counter-attacks from the back-line thanks to his composure on the ball, vision, and good range of passing. His playing style as a sweeper was frequently compared to Franz Beckenbauer, but while the German often looked for long, killer balls upfield, Figueroa typically used shorter, incisive passes to spring his team-mates forward.

    Known for his leadership, he also had a reputation of being a clean and fair player. Only once in his entire career was he shown a red card and was selected as captain for every team he played for.

    According to journalist Nelson Rodrigues, "Figueroa was elegant as an earl dressed in suit, and dangerous as a Bengal Tiger. Elias Figueroa was the perfect defender."

    Some excellent picks in this draft.

    Too close to call now, I think.

    Didn't have time to add a bio for Puskas but found this pretty * funny:

    "Comparisons are made with George Best, not least because Puskas enjoyed a similarly hectic social life. Tales of his drinking exploits with Jim Baxter are legion, and the late Scotland winger, who maintained that the Hungarian had just two words of English - "vhisky" and "jiggy-jig" - often told the story of arriving at a party in Drumchapel on the outskirts of Glasgow to find Puskas "jiggy-jigging" in the scullery"

    Jiggy Jig:56:

    I also didn't realise he was banned from football for 2 years for refusing to return to Hungary, then signed for Real Madrid at 31. Went on to score 7 goals in 2 European Cup Finals, mental!

    It's a real shame about Puskas that when I hear his name I immediately picture him like this

    One of the finest Spanish football players of his generation, and one of the best ever. The one and only...

    Jesus Nav...
