So Scotland and England make the final of the fantasy Home Nations - I think Scotland edge it with their midfield team creativity, but with Tony Currie to come off the bench, there could be a an upset!

Manager: David O’Leary ... surely they'd get honorary Irish Man, Big Jack, in his Italia 90 hey day! I'd want O'Leary as a Centre Back

Alba = Scotland

Thanks for clarifying.

Never heard that before and still lost on me. Can't make the connection

Alba, the kingdom formed by the union of the Picts and Scots under Kenneth MacAlpin in 843. If you go on the BBC site you'll notice their Gaelic (Scotland) page is called BBC Alba.

Makes sense now. Thanks

I know I'm hugely biased, but DOL was one of the classiest centre backs to ever play the game.... admittedly nearly all of that that was with Arsenal, but still.

I'm not biased, and I'd put him up there with Alan Hansen from the same era - both top players.
