Here at Culto Al Futbol we decided to create our dream starting 11, here's who we picked:
Whilst selecting our top eleven players, we all selected one stand out player that we couldn't exclude from this line up. Keep reading to see who made the final cut!
Manager - 'Big Sam' Allardyce
Sam Allardyce was someone we all agreed on, he knows how to get results and has become renowned for being able to rescue clubs from the risk of being relegated from the Premier League.
Just some of his clubs include Bolton Wanderers, West Ham, Sunderland and most recently Sam has taken on the challenge to try and keep Leeds from making the drop into the Championship.
Thierry Henry - Lewis's pick
One of the best players to grace the Premier League and Arsenal football club.
Mesmerising defenders with his skill, pace and finishing ability. Leaving them fearful in the tunnel before the game.
Still to this day he carries himself like he did on the pitch, humble and having the humility to conduct himself in the correct way. But still having a certain swagger about him.
Mark Noble - Sam's pick
By no means at all was Mark Noble one of Europe's most skilled players, but what he lacked in technical ability, he made up for in professionalism, determination, and commitment.
A one-club-man is a rarity in modern football. But Noble spent the entirety of his 18 year career with The Hammers, and is adored by every single member of the claret and blue army.
Captain. Leader. Legend. Icon. Mark Noble.
Dimitri Payet - Maisie's pick
Whilst his exit from West Ham may have a left a bitter taste in the mouth for the fans, the memories of what he achieved there remain.
A set-piece specialist, he could pluck a goal out of thin air, frustrating opponents and delighting fans alike. Although his form in recent seasons hasn’t lived up to his high standards, his time at West Ham will long be remembered by fans for years to come.
N'Golo Kante - Lily's pick
One of the best players I have seen wear a Leicester shirt in my era, joining the club as a relative unknown and moving on a hero.
A humble, genuine and incredibly talented player that anyone would be lucky to have in their club - one of the greatest players of that time, he stood out in a miraculous team of underdogs
'Big Mick' Harford - Katherine's pick
Mick is a Luton Town legend, there is. no other way to describe him.
Mick first joined us at the Hatters as a player in 1984 where he spent six years leading the line in the old First Division, he then made his Hatters return in 1991-92 for another bite of the Luton cherry.
When he retired from playing Mick returned as our manager, securing our Johnstone's Paint Trophy win back in 2009 during our time in the Championship. In 2019 after the departure of Nathan Jones, Big Mick stepped back into his managerial boots to interim and saw us secure promotion as League One Champions with a record of 28 games unbeaten and became LMA manager of the year. After Nathan returned to the club in 2020 Mick became his assistant before returning to recruiting.
Often know as 'Hard Man Harford' Mick was a fantastic centre forward for Luton, and both
on and off the pitch a true gentleman. He loves this club and it shows. He has stood by us and continues to be someone the fans look up too.
He will always be an icon to me.
Here's our final starting 11 we went with, who would you choose?
