Looking for a squad for the above. Obviously the first two names on the team sheet would be Captain Marvel and Kevin Keegan. Who else ?

Barnes, Brady, Francis, Platt, O'Leary, Keegan, Bryan Robson, Reid, Spackman, Butch Wilkins, Souness, Eustace, goalie Turner?, Gullitt,
best to look at the Sky couch!

Look no further than the '86 England squad.

I'd forgotten about Graeme ( '' it's sometimes harder to play against 10 men '' ) Souness.

Good call.

Just recalled Bobby Charlton.

Chris Waddell - absolutely dreadful at Burnley.

Desperately short of defence. Then again, maybe that was the whole problem with them all managing...

No, I mean good players. Ray Wilkins never, to the best of my knowledge, actually propelled the ball towards the opposition. There seemed to be a ''force field'' around him which allowed him only to play the ball side ways at the most.

I agree, not one decent manager between them:

1 Shilton • 2 Gary Stevens • 3 Sansom • 4 Hoddle • 5 Martin • 6 Butcher • 7 Bryan Robson • 8 Wilkins • 9 Hateley • 10 Lineker • 11 Waddle • 12 Anderson • 13 Woods • 14 Fenwick • 15 Gary A. Stevens • 16 Reid • 17 Steven • 18 Hodge • 19 Barnes • 20 Beardsley • 21 Dixon • 22 Bailey •

Inclined to agree but 84 caps, in the book!

That '86 list prompts me with a 'banker' I'd forgotten, Terry Butcher.

Shilton
Pearce
Butcher
Phil Neal
O,Leary
Bobby Charlton
Bryan Robson
Graeme Souness
David Platt
Chris Waddle (still a God though)
John Barnes

Cant Believe Treatment opted for Francis in his team,he got us into Europe and 2 Cup Finals in same season!!!
And if it wasnt for Carlton Palmer wouldve been there a lot longer

I really don`t see how Hoddle is on some peoples lists, he is one of the best recent English England managers!

I opted for Francis. Over 12 years in management, never won a thing and had spats with staff at every club he tried to manage.
Remember Alan Smith?
The 1993 rides were on the back of Atkinson's team and as I've said many times, his problems started when he tried to dismantle Ron's team.

But a toal failure at his last two jobs: Spurs and Wolves.

And he wasn't that good for England either!

He did alright a wolves, only just missed out on the play offs, problem with wolves is that they expect to much of their team! did pretty good for england!His England record- Games-28 W17 L5 D6 Win Percentage 60.71- looks like a good record to me!

Then I offer you TONY ADAMS, based on his performance with "The Chairboys" at Adams Park!

Well what about the trio of West Ham 1966 World Cup winners -

Bobby Moore - managed Southend - relegated from Div 3 to Div 4
Geoff Hurst - managed Chelsea for 2 years in the old Div 2 before being sacked.
Martin Peters - managed the Blades and took them down from Div 3 to Div 4.
