As you'll have heard in the episode above, these three midfield dynamos all played under Sven...

Which do you want to see in our XI?

[BOSSEN @BOSSENMAG]

A pleasure to be involved in a podcast that I’ve enjoyed for a while, talking about one of my favourite, baldest players.

Make sure to go and give it a listen!

@FootieBookClub @IvoGraham This team doesn't seem too bad on paper / on JPEG.

But when you hear how many relegations they've endured, maybe you'll think differently.

Prime relegation fodder.

For all their talent, I'm afraid these nostalgic footballers were suckers for the drop.

Helping us pick our XI are the brilliant @Andrew_Lawn and @FootieBookClub. More on them to come... 👏

Listeners tells us "we're good, but not quite @FootieBookClub" - and they're right.

They're the reason we're moving to Germany to win trophies.

And, their analysis of Neil Redfearn's relegation-stricken career (ft @IvoGraham) is second to none:

Here they are.

Eleven nostalgic names in an exclusive club you didn't know existed - those with a Style of Play section on their Wikipedia profile.

Any excuse to list 90s and 00s footballers... Literally any excuse.

There's an exclusive and seemingly elite club on nostalgic football Wikipedia - players with a 'Style of Play' section.

Helping us pick eleven (unexpected) members is the brilliant @WikiBallersQuiz. More on them to come 👏

If you love football trivia and can name Carl Asaba just from his CV, you must follow @WikiBallersQuiz.

Thank you for a top guest appearance on our latest podcast, @ryanplant1998 ⬆️👏

He nominated the below keeper for our Style of Play XI. Any guesses?

[The Eleven @ElevenPod]

Appreciate that Luton's ground is in a back-garden and the Windass family have all scored in Playoff Finals, but have you heard about Will Still?

[The Eleven @ElevenPod]

Extreme hairiness was central to these eleven nostalgic footballers' identities.

Strip that away, as below, and they're unrecognisable.

Catch our last episode if you're a fan of obscure 90s and 00s football and / or hair.

Carles Puyol. What a man

[The Eleven @ElevenPod]

Massive thank you to @knockemdownes for reminding us of Carles Puyol's extreme hairiness. ⬆️

A wonderful player; a voluminous barnet.

Go check out Ezekiel's page - a wonderful source of kit content and football chat. 👊

[The Eleven @ElevenPod]

Luscious locks, handlebar moustaches and bushy beards.

This nostalgic XI concentrates on the hairiest 90s and 00s footballers we can think of.

With a contribution from the fantastic @knockemdownes. More on him to come. 👏
