I posted earlier on Twitter about having created a best XI of players I've seen in a first hand capacity. I've decided to kill time by creating a best XI of players I've seen live, without including Celtic players. It is here.
GK - Oliver Kahn
DEF - Bixente Lizerazu
DEF - Nemanja Vidic
DEF - Paolo Maldini
DEF - Cafu
MID - Ronaldinho
MID - Xavi
MID - Kaka
MID - Lionel Messi
FWD - Samuel Eto'o
FWD - Henrik Larsson (I'm allowed to pick him because he scored against us)
I'll admit, Lizerazu is only there by virtue of me not really giving a flying f*ck about defenders. Honourable mentions must go to Andres Iniesta, Pavel Nedved and Alessandro Del Piero, and maybe Cristiano Ronaldo too. Scholes and Giggs were basically too old by the time I'd seen them, but Giggs wouldn't get in anyway. Scholes maybe in his prime would be there before Xavi. Kahn is there because Buffon didn't play at Parkhead, only in the away game (WHICH WE WERE CHEATED IN) so I technically haven't seen him live.
You'll note that I've seen Deco on many occasions and he's nowhere to be seen. Just sayin'. There's also a considerable concentration of players from the same teams. It just happened that way.
