[Phil147]

Tough one this...

Starting 11 based on players I've seen play since I started supporting Leeds.

Schmeichel DEN (I rate Nigel Martyn as our best ever keeper but need that England space elsewhere...)

Kelly IRE
Radebe SA
Ferdinand ENG (yes, I know he went to the **** but he was a top player)
Dallas NI (struggling here at LB but he wouldn't let us down

Strachan SCO (Captain and one of my favorite ever Leeds players)
Dacourt FRA (Prefer Batty but had my England pick)
Hernandez SPA (Prefer McAllister but had my Scotland pick - Pablo is close to if not already a club legend though)
Speed WAL

Hasselbaink HOL
Viduka AUS

What it did make me realise is that up until the Premiership foreign players were very rare indeed!!

Love the strength at the back and attacking line up ... Sabella must've been some player if he pips Rapha, I'd've loved to see him play.
