Best Ever Celtic Nations XI

[davek]

In my lifetime...

-------------------Southall

Rice----------Ratcliffe----Hansen--------Irwin

--------------Keane------Souness
Brady (L) --------------------------------------Robertson (J)


----------------------Dalglish
---------------Rush

I'm taking liberties with Brady on the right flank, but I had to squeeze him in there somewhere. A number of cracking left sided players were left out too - including Bale, Van Den Hauwe, Sheedy - but you couldn't have Bale for Irwin, and for me John Robertson is hands down the best winger produced on these islands ever.

I’d have Vinny Jones ahead of Sourness

 

[PaddyJames]

Jimmy Johnstone. Even if you weren't alive at the time. In-fact just have the Lisbon Lions and be done with it.

He would have been the obvious one on the right.

Defo mate.

Slightly different formation but for me:

------------------------Nev
-------Ratcliffe-----McNeil-----Hansen
-------------Keane-------Souness
Johnstone----------------------------Sheedy
--------------------Dalglish
------------Rush--------------Sharp

 

[Nymzee]

Any good Frenchies

 

[EFCPaul]

Keane and Sharp wouldn't get in there. Sheedy is also pipped by Bale sadly. Southall, Hansen and Rush though are all nailed on.

Keane defo would in my opinion. I put Sharp in because he's boss

 

[roydo]

No one making room for George Best?

 

[dublinbluenose]

No Paul McGrath ?

I was thinking that.

No Paul McGrath ?

Not getting into my XI.

If I was extending to all time best Celtic nations XI we could have Best, McKay, Law etc etc.

 

[Black Belt Jones]

Leading premiership Scottish goal scorer of all time not included? Not serious imho.

Forgot about Best. In over Sheedy in mine.
