I wonder if we'd have enough for Wales, Ireland and Scotland teams as well And a foreign internationals team also. First name on the team sheet for me would be Ricardo Fuller! Probably have enough for an Iceland team as well, but I wouldn't swap our current team for them! Yeah deffo! Had exactly same thought straight after I'd posted funnily enough. Could be a cracking team. Sorensen in goal, Huth and Faye. Probably enough for a decent pan Aftican team as well...not sure who'd go in goal though...maybe give Mama some goalkeeping coaching

I would not pick Shilton or Butland ahead of Banks. Agreed and Shilton's form WHEN HE PLAYED FOR US means he would be lucky to make the bench. Considering we paid a world record for a keeper we really didn't get our money's worth from him. I dunno what the problem was but he was far better once he left us. Anyone who puts Butland ahead of Gordon Banks needs to wonder if they are following the right sport - tiddly winks might be a better option. No one did. I was thinking out loud as to who was eligible for selection. I watched almost every game Banks played for us and he was clearly head and shoulders the best.

Which brings up an interesting question………… name your all time Stoke XI consisting only of players who played for England while at Stoke. Gordon Banks, Stanley Matthews,Frankie Soo, Alan Hudson, Neil Franklin, Freddie Steele, Ryan Shawcross…….. It’s still early here! I wonder if we'd have enough for Wales, Ireland and Scotland teams as well Historically we have had very few Scottish players. (Compared to Welsh and Irish). When the Stoke City Encyclopedia was issued I was amazed by how few Stoke players had won caps for Scotland. At that time, there were only 2, both in the 1890s! Since then there is only Charlie that I can think of who played full internationals whilst a Stoke player.
