Dream Teams

Thanks to everybody who has left comments and voted on the teams and players featured. We have been impressed with your informed contributions.  We have now  providing our considered Dream Teams and a compilation of the votes received so far.

Also below is a  Dream Team for each era - from the pre-war years to the present day, in the popular formations of the time, followed by my All-time Dream Teams.  We are keen to hear your votes on all of these Dream Teams, and the website in general, so please use the Forums and personal message facility at the bottom of this page. 

But first of all - create your own dream team.



Make your own Dream Team !

We have now created a tool (using MS Excel) that enables you to create your own dream team. You can download this for free below. Pick from one of 12 formations from football history, and used today, and select players from each position using the drop down lists. The lists correspond with the relevant pages on the website so you can find out more about each.

You can use the tool to create an all time dream team, one from a particular era, or teams to represent a certain country or club. Have fun!

We would like to see your team when you have created it, and I am sure others would, so remember to share.

To share your team (PC only):

1. save the excel sheet as a pdf
2. convert to a jpeg by using print screen or the snipping tool
3. insert the image into a comment on the comments form below, or on our facebook page.

 All-time Dream Team

Below is your all-time team - based on the votes on each page. It's a great team - I can't argue with it. There are some big names to miss out though - Maradona, Cruyff and Di Stefano for example. Let me know what you think of it with the forum at the bottom of the page. We have also provided my Editor's Choice Dream Team for comaprison alongside it.

Although its easy to pay more attention to current and recent players, that we see more of, try and ensure accuracy and balance by looking at all eras - there are video clips of great players past on each position page.
