Apologies to Vidic. There wasn't room. If anyone wants to vote for Vidic, do so in the replies and put it in red.
I have the power to add him, if you likeLivvie said:

Which is why it wouldn't have been a good idea to put the Busby Babes in there.
Seems you can only start with 15, but you can then add additional options afterwardsLivvie said:
Stupid internet
Brucey, Pally, Stam and Foulkes
Where's Berg?
Voted for Bruce and Pallister. What did Fergie nickname them?
noodlehair said:
Bugger. I thought I'd put him.
Add him in Noods, there's a good chap.

Dolly and Daisy.
There we goLivvie said:Bugger. I thought I'd put him.

He'll end up with no votes now, but I don't care, he has a cool name
noodlehair said:
I assume you meant the pun?
Livvie said:
That´s right!
But who are (original) Dolly and Daisy?
Mcgrath for me when he wasn't hungover....about 5 matches I think
and Bruce
and Bruce
I only just noticed it now you pointed it outLivvie said:
So erm, yes, obviously
Voted Stam and Pallister, though I'm limited somewhat, by the fact that some of the players are from before I was born

In hindsight I agree. I wanted to complain that Duncan Edwards was not on the list. I know central defence was not his usual position but I name him there in my all-time team because there are many more great midfielders than central defenders.
It would be embarrassing if he missed the team.
I wish more of you had seen McGrath at his peak. What a player he was. Absolutely top drawer. Strong, tough, brave, fast, great passer, great first touch and completely unflapable.
Brucey and Stam
If we profiled the ages of the posters it might explain why McGrath doesn't have about 90% of the votes, he was as strong as Stam and a better footballer than Rio. Roberto Baggio and Maradona both said he was the most difficult defender they ever played against - which is good enough for me. Any of you interested in McGrath who are not familiar - check out Ireland v Italy in USA 94 , amazing by McGrath, even Babb looked good beside him. Also a notable game for the performance of a young chap from Cork called Roy who bossed the whole game - and that Italian team which were well beaten on the day went on to the final... If McGrath doesn't make the team it's a shambles , forget about not including players from the 50's it'll just be 90's and 00's.
Hopefully there will be votes from a vast range of ages. I don't know what the predominate age group is, but obviously the final result can't be taken too seriously.
McGrath and Pallister for me
McGrath is one of the best defenders ever graced a pitch IMHO

Where's David May...????

Livvie said:

'Got more medals than Alan Shea-rah'
Stam
simply awesome

He was arguably what would now be a left sided centre half or a left back anyway, as far as I know thats where he played the majority of his games for us.dicko said:
I voted for Brucey and Moran, someone had to
Yet again, Ferdinand and Vidic. The others are far too old.
Mcgrath
Stam
