    Right, to conclude my team, I'll go for a man who was a regular face in English football for over 20 years.

    Des Walker.

    "A pacey and hard-tackling centre back regarded for the consistently high quality of his defending through the first half of his playing career. Defensively he was among the best markers and timers of the tackle of the television era in English football. His speed allowed him to repeatedly recover difficult situations for his teams. Gary Lineker named Walker in the best One to Eleven that Lineker played beside during his career. Lineker said of him;

    "Des wasn't the greatest footballer in the world but he was unbelievably quick and had a brilliant defensive mind. Brian Clough used to stick him on me when we played - he always put man-to-man which was quite unusual in those days - and he used to sing that song 'You'll never beat Des Walker!' - he used to drive you mad when you were playing against him!".

    At set pieces for his teams walker would stay back to provide defensive cover rather than supplement the attack. This is reflected in that in playing around 800 senior games he only scored once for his teams."

    Tactics thread is up. Don't list achievements that aren't to do with the league as I'll edit them out, this includes international caps.

    Get your teams posted asap and once all teams are posted, get your votes in to me.

    I'll take Roy Aitken.
