    As the title suggests, what's your favourite team based on players that you've seen since you started following football, or in your lifetime?

    example: if you were born in 1989, you can't have Maradona, Pele etc :50:, and it doesn't have to be the best players available at that time - can be your favourite players (even if it's Adam Virgo :rolleyes:)


    Mines:


    Oliver Kahn


    Cafu Bobo Balde Paolo Maldini Roberto Carlos


    Roy Keane


    Zinedine Zidane Patrick Vieira


    Larsson Ronaldo (brazilian) Ronaldinho    ​



    Honourable mentions go to: Messi, Batistuta, Staam, Lizarazu, Boruc.

    Hard to narrow it down but

    Kahn
    Cafu Nesta Desailly R.Carlos
    Xavi Zidane
    Messi Rivaldo Ronaldinho
    Ronaldo

    Id probably pick that. Although id have liked Thuram, Thiago Silva, Batistuta and Ibrahimovic in there too. Toss up between Buffon and Kahn, I keep changing them. PS. Thats Brazilian Ronaldo in there.

    Gianluigi Buffon

    Philipp Lahm
    Alessandro Nesta
    Paolo Maldini
    Javier Zanetti

    Xavi
    Fernando Redondo

    Lionel Messi
    Zinedine Zidane
    Ronaldinho

    Ronaldo

    Subs: Kahn, Hierro, Irwin, Iniesta, del Piero, Cristiano Ronaldo, McManaman

    The OP says favourite players but my team would probably just be a Celtic 11 so I decided to leave out Larsson, McNamara, Lambert etc and just list my favourite players outside Celtic.
