Like many, I will be playing one up front, a goal scorer to take advantage of the many chances created by the likes of Best and Baggio. To play on his own up front I will need the complete striker, somebody who is a world class finisher and goal poacher, but also somebody with the pace to create his own chances, and the power to mix it with tough defenders like Charles or Breitner.
Luckily for me the complete striker is still available, Alan Shearer. I don't need to wax lyrical about Shearer, if you want to call yourself a football fan then you already know who was the most feared striker in the premier league era, the one player Manchester United fans regret missing out on, the man who scored 30+ goals a season while being supplied by journeymen wingers like Stuart Ripley and Jason Wilcox.
If you are still a teenager and didn't get to see Shearer in his pomp then consider one thing. The highest ever Premier league goalscorer is not earlier picks Thierry Henry or Ruud Van Nistlerooy, it is Alan Shearer.

Radamel Falcao
142 goals in his 177 appearances in Europe. Scored, won and got motm in two Europa League finals and got a hattrick again Chelsea in the Super Cup. Scores regularly with his left, right and head and has an uncanny ability to score from almost impossible situations.

Patrice Evra, best LB in the world for a few years in his pomp. Went off the boil for a while but has come back to form this season. Played close to 300 games for Man U, numerous titles, a CL medal and plenty of individual awards. Can attack and defend and he won't be intimidated by anyone.

Another world cup winning captain for team Bounty Hunter. He faced critics for his un-Brazillian style of play but like with that side his job here will be to give those ahead of him both the freedom and the ball to play with through his great defensive play, so good it was that he is almost always in every best DMs of all time list. He is of course Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verri, aka Dunga

One final legend to round off my legends team. Dino Zoff.
World cup winning captain, European championship winner, winner of six Serie A titles, Uefa cup, and holder of the record for longest stretch without conceding a goal in international football, my goalkeeping spot is in a legends hands.

Few will have heard about him, but Fernando Peyroteo is the player with the highest goals per game ratio (1.69 goals per game) in the history of football. Playing for Sporting he scored an incredible 331 goals in 187 games and simply put was a goal machine, or as fans of sensible soccer would say a goal scoring superstar hero.
To give you an idea here is one blog post about him: Peyroteo was one-of-kind player that was great in bulk force, he was a force of nature without anyone capable of stopping his tremendous physical power. Not only he was strong, he had a very strong shooting as well always making the keepers tremble upon his presence in the last 30 metres. He scored from everywhere and from heading too, he used physical advantage to gain position and then head towards the net. He was also very determined

Earmarked this keeper from the very beginning, as I didn't think I'd be early enough for those generally regarded to be the first tier (Yashin, Banks, Zoff & perhaps the Great Dane). Delighted to pick him up, an unquestionably world-class keeper. Sepp Maier.

This was a really tough choice for me. Between an arsenal left winger, juan veron and the one I have decided to go for. El Pibe Carlos Valderrama. He didnt look like a footballer, but by god could he pass the ball around. Was one of my favourite players growing up and when I lived in Colombia the last while his legend only got bigger. He seemed impossible to get the ball off, much like messi seems these days, apparently it was becasue he was so wide and stocky that players couldnt get near his feet. He is Colombia's greatest ever player, a phenominal midfielder and can spray the ball around like th ebest of them. Will link up with Matthaus nicely.
He also had great hair

The goal scoring goal keeper Jose Chilavert. Scored over 60 goals(Including 8 for his country, 4 of which helped his country reach the 2002 World cup) during his career however he was just as good as keeping goals out.
He's widely regarded as one of the best if not the best keeper to ever come out of South America. South American Player of the Year in 1996 and 3 time South American Goalkeeper of the year.
Also, he was totally bat **** ****ing mental, even compared to other mental keepers down the years.
