What with san marino playing England, I've mentioned their best player Massimo Bonini a few time who was actually world class and won the european cup with juventus and was the bracewell in that side who let the flair players like Platini, Boniek and Brady do their stuff. There's an anecdote that the Juventus chairman caught Platini smoking cigars and drinking wine after a training session and expressed his concern and Platini pointed at Bonini and said 'as long as he's fit you don't have to worry, he's the one who does all the running'.
So best players from crap countries.
George Best obviously. Louis Pilot from Luxembourg. Magico Gonzalez from El Salvador. George Weah. Ecuador's Alberto Spencer. Wynton Rufer from New Zealand.
Wonder if you could form an 11 made solely from players who's national teams were out of the top 100 rankings at the time.
Mart Poom can be the goalie. (Jennings and Southall were actually in half decent sides)
