As it's the world cup draw today, it's had me thinking of England's best ever team. Well I have picked players that I have seen play as I'm sure people who have seen Bobby Moore, Jimmy Greaves play would maybe have them in their team, but I have only seen England play from Spain 1982. I have really struggled in a few positions, right back and the usual problem of left wing! I have picked 7 substitutes as that's the number there was in the qualifiers, but I could have picked many more. The 3 that were very close are David Platt, Glenn Hoddle and Kenny Sansom. So if you want, pick your best team.
