The rules are simple; a combined, All-Time XI from Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland. A maximum of 4 players from each nation, and a minimum of 2.

Some names on this list have picked themselves (Georgie Best, we’re looking at you) however others had us arguing a bit (Robertson at left-back!?)

Give it a go yourselves and let us know what you’d do differently.

Cheers,

From Vollborn to Hradecky, to Kirsten and Havertz; Bayer 04 have never been short of a World-Class player or 2. But can we fit them all into an All-Time Greatest Eleven?

With Gareth taking the more historic route, and Joe opting for the club’s recent success; we’ve built our own individual teams of the finest players Die Werkself has ever had.

(We might have to come back and update this list come end of May, but for now this is how it stands)

Gareth Southgate is, in almost every measurable sense, England’s most successful manager. On this episode, we’re looking at common criticism of Southgate, and debunk them one by one.

We look at how Didier Deschamps faced identical issues as France manager yet proved the nay-sayers wrong, and the historic role of the English Media in lambasting their National Managers.

We’re firmly Team Southgate here on The England B Team Podcast; give us half an hour and you will be too.
