Best eleven players to play during your life

[weasel]

As the title suggests, name the best eleven players to play during your life time. Only condition is they can't have shared a club OR country with anyone else on your team.

This is a real head melter, sooooo much harder than it sounds initially.

I have my team and will post after people have had a chance to think.
I guarantee you will make a mistake in your first draft.

 

[jayjedi]

just to clarify "shared" , what about if they just played for the same club at different times?

 

[weasel]

Not allowed.

So if you pick poncey Ronaldo you aren't allowed anyone else who has (ever) played for Sporting Lisbon, Man U, Real, Juve or who is Portuguese.

It's TOUGH!!!!

Bergkamp and Platini in midfield is interesting. Your team might just score a few goals though
