Wolves all time XI - One player per country

[Sniffer]

Name an all time Wolves XI where each player has a different nationality.

Without much thought and Traoré not to declare for Spain.

Hanneman
Doherty Boly Munro Wright Jonny
Neves Saiss
Camara Jimenez Traoré

 

[Tredman]

Hennessey
Jackie Mac - Bjorklund - Boly - Jonny
Peszko - Moutinho - Milijas - Dennison
Bull - Flo

That was a lot of effort just so I could get Bully in.

 

[Paul]

Im assuming you've picked Bjorkland on the basis of being Swedish not on his half a dozen appearances for us ?

 

[Tredman]

I did consider Okoronkwo for a while

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Eddie Stuart is your South African entry

 

[Paul]

What about Mark Williams ?

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

What about Mark Williams ?

We're choosing snooker players?

Or actors?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What about Mark Williams ?

I would say that Eddie's three league titles might put him ever so slightly ahead.

 

[Paul]

So an African Cup of Nations medal means nothing then ?? :icon_razz:

So pleased to see Saiss in there sir. A massively underrated player.

 

[Parkins left foot]

So pleased to see Saiss in there sir. A massively underrated player.

Probably only in there due to the 1 player per country rule - keep trying to do a team them realise I've got 2 from the same country.

Why would you pick Hennesey over Murray otherwise apart from the fact that you couldn't then pick Bull.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I would have to go 3-4-3 to have a front line of

Keane - Bull - Jimenez

I KNOW it's not ideal but imagine the GOALS.

Moutinho has to be the Portugeezer (sorry various Rubens and Diogos)

I'm definitely having Boly in the backline as the French entrant. Johnny can be left back as Spanish and Adama as right back under the Mali flag is tempting.

Hennessey or Hahnemann have to be the keeper to keep the nationalities correct.

So I need a centre back or two, and a midfielder. I will go Dendoncker in centre mid (with reserving a right to change that if I can think of a better alternate) and Saiss and De Wolf.

Hahnemann (sorry Wayne - I loved you but you became a bit of a twat)

--Boly------De Wolf----Saiss

Traore-------------------------Johnny

----------Moutinho---Dendoncker

---Jimenez-----Bull------Keane

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Adama is Spanish, man.

He's as Malian as Andy Townsend is Irish.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'll have Jackie Mac over there then as I don't see another Scot in my line up.

 

[Alan]

Obviously this is a combination of what I've seen and what I assume must be true about past players I couldn't see (listing their nationality is more for my benefit than expecting anyone not to know)...

Rui Patricio (Portugal)
George Berry (Wales) - Frank Munro (Scotland) - Willy Boly (France)
Matt Doherty (Ireland) - Les Wilson (Canada) - Romain Saiss (Morocco) - Bill Slater (England)
Adama Traore (Spain) - Raul Jiminez (Mexico) - Bakary Sako (Mali)​

I admittedly know almost nothing about Wilson in terms of his quality, but his impact on professional soccer here in North America is hard to understate.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Slater as a left half

quietly impressed.

I admittedly know almost nothing about Wilson in terms of his quality, but his impact on professional soccer here in North America is hard to understate.

As I remember, Les Wilson was a utility player who either played at right-back or in midfield. He was disciplined but not the world's most exciting player. He competed for right back with Jerry Taylor and played a good few games. The change of him getting picked once we'd splashed out £80,000 on Derek Parkin was pretty slim. I think he only played in midfield after Parkin's arrival.

One of his most memorable games was man marking George Best in a famous 1-0 home defeat. It must have been one of the first times an English team had employed such a tactic as there was an article about it in the next day's Sunday Times.
