I know there are some obvious choices missing (Moore, Charlton, Pele, Di Stefano etc.) but i have never seen most of these guys play except on brief clips on tv, so i've picked my greatest all time xi that inspired me to love football when i was growing up

 In my short lifetime these are the best players I have seen.

Schmeichel , Cafu , Maldini , Cannavaro , Desailly , Figo , Messi , Keane , Zidane ,  Giggs , Henry

GREAT team...wow it would take something extraordinary to beat this lot!

 Great balance in this team.
