If you could pick an all time best XI (and subs!) for your favourite football team(s), who would you select? Here's mine:
LIVERPOOL
Ray Clemence
Phil Neal Alan Hansen Emlyn Hughes (C) Mark Lawrenson
Billy Liddell Steven Gerrard Graeme Souness John Barnes
Kenny Dalglish Ian Rush
Subs: Elisha Scott, Ron Yeats, Chris Lawler, Ian Callaghan, Terry McDermott, Kevin Keegan, Roger Hunt
WEST HAM
Phil Parkes
Alvin Martin Bobby Moore (C) Billy Bonds Frank Lampard Snr.
Alan Devonshire Trevor Brooking Martin Peters
Paolo di Canio Geoff Hurst Vic Watson
Subs: David James, Ray Stewart, Rio Ferdinand, Len Goulden, Jimmy Ruffell, Frank McAvennie, Tony Cottee
I'm not quite so certain on a Tranmere XI, although I support them I'm only really familiar with their relatively recent history (most of my football history books are on Liverpool or the Premiership).

Re: Footballing dream teams
Chris, I would never have pegged you as a Caley fan in a million years!
As for me, I think the 83/84 Forfar Athletic team were the best we ever had. I was at the match when Forfar clinched promotion to the old style First Division. Glory days indeed!

I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Forfar. Boy, that's a cold ground. Not that the Moray Firth warms the TCS up much mind you. But what a spectacular ground we've got. If the game's boring, just turn round and watch the dolphins!

An all-time England team now:

2. Duncan Edwards (Right-Back)
3. Stuart Pearce (Left-Back)
4. Bryan Robson (Centre Midfield)
5. Billy Wright (Centre-Back)
6. Bobby Moore (Captain) (Centre-Back)
7. Stanley Matthew (Right-Winger)
8. Bobby Charlton (Centre Midfield)
9. William 'Dixie' Dean (Striker)
10. Gary Lineker (Striker)
11. Tom Finney (Left-Winger)

Alan Shearer
Jimmy Greaves
Probably still not good enough to beat Germany.
