Player Valuation: £150m
Can anyone come up with examples of that? I'm always curious about this naming of teams usually from an era of a club / country, as it's usually conferred from outsiders and said in honour.

Examples:

Everton: School of Science (Dogs of war less of an honour)*
Preston: the Invincible's.
Arsenal: (also) the Invincible's
United: Busby Babes
Celtic: Lisbon Lions
Barcelona: Dream Team
Real Madrid: Galacticos


Argentina: Angels with dirty faces (1950s era)
Portugal: the Golden Generation (one or two making it to Euro2016 success)


* I always think it's a shame HKs team of the 80s didn't have one conferred.
 

Spurs in the 60s had one I reckon. No idea what though. @Yid4life

Palace under Venables were christened the Team of The 80's. Didnt really catch on mind.

England 66, The Wingless Wonders.
