Default Alf's all time World football XI
We're gonna go with a 4-3-3

In goal. Gianluigi Buffon

Right back. A fifty fifty choice. I could easily choose Cafu but I'm going with Javier Zanetti.

Left back. Easiest choice of all. God aka Paolo Maldini

Centre backs. Paul McGrath and Franco Baresi

Sitting midfield. Lothar Matthaus

Attacking midfielders. Zinedine Zidane and Diego Maradona

Wide attack. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Centre forward. Ronaldo


Gianluigi Buffon

Javier Zanetti
Paul McGrath
Franco Baresi
Paolo Maldini

Lothar Matthaus
Zinedine Zidane
Diego Maradona

Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo

Emile played and scored in probably England's greatest victory and performance in my lifetime. The 5-1 win in Germany in the 2002 World Cup qualifier in 2001.

That's true.

Thinking back on it Heskey definitely played apart in a lot of my favourite Football matches growing up.

He was also very effective in the Liverpool term at that time .. he had a couple of good scorers alongside him though .. to get the goals

Decent?

You can't pick a better team than that from 1985-present.

And I ain't changing Paul McGrath. Even Niamh would back me up on that one. And she knows nothing about football.
