Pick your best XI conundrum

[Harryflashman]

Apologies if this is posted anywhere but been sent it and found it difficult , it also might pass a bit of time in these days of lockdown .


“Pick your best football XI of all time, you can use any commonly used formation, there are some rules though:
- each player must have played professionally during your lifetime
- no two players can be the same nationality
- no two players can ever have played for the same club (even if they've played at different times)

That should keep you busy for a few hours!”

Boss brainteaser. You start off separating by nationality and there are so many of the obvious names who played at the Big Spanish and Italian clubs. Plus Ajax throws a massive spanner in the works.
Not totally sure nobody here shared clubs. Surely the fun is in not using Google.
