hmm,this is a tough one! dunno much abt footballers from the pre-80s era barring pele!
so,the ones who make it into the team from tht era hv done so purely on the basis of their popularity(ie..if i hv heard their name..they must be famous!)so,here goes
1.lev yashin/gordon banks....goalkeeper(2 of the very best)
2.paolo maldini...defender(he seems well past his prime now but at his prime,very few could get past him!)
3.beckenbauer...defender(the greatest ever)
4.alessandro nesta/carlos...defender(2 of the best in world football today!)
5.maradona.....midfielder(i don't think this needs an explanation!)
6.roberto baggio....midfielder(my all time favourite player despite that missed penalty in the 1994 final

!)
7.zidane...midfielder(the one man who stopped brazil from taking tht world cup in 199

8.michael platini....midfielder(unfortunate to hv never seen france win during his tenure

)
9.cryuff/rossi/marco van basten...striker(3 of the very best...though rossi won italy the world cup in 1982...the other 2 couldn't quite swing their teams fortunes!)
10.pele....striker(no explanations here either!)
11.ronaldo/eusebio....striker
may have missed out on some famous names but this is all i could come up with!expect scores of 10-0,12-0... if this team takes on anyone

!
cheers,
suhas
