SiJ Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Saw this on Twitter. Pick your world best XI. Rules are: - you have to have been alive to see them actually play - none of the players can have played for the same club(s) - none of the players can be of the same nationality... Enjoy...

HighworthOwl Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Do i have to have seen them in person or can i have watched them on TV? Otherwise my team will be full of second and third division players plus one City, Chelsea* and one Arsenal player. Its been a low 20 years. Edited April 16, 2020 by HighworthOwl *forgot we played Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
