Former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff picked an impressive #One2Eleven on The Fantasy Football Club on Friday.
Duff started his career at Blackburn Rovers, before moving to Chelsea in 2003, where he won the Premier League twice under Jose Mourinho.
The midfielder then moved to Newcastle for three seasons before moving back down to London to play for Fulham, while stints at Melbourne City and Shamrock Rovers followed before hanging up his boots.
The 38-year-old, who is currently a first-team coach at Shamrock Rovers, made exactly 100 appearance for his country, starring in every game at the 2002 World Cup, eventually calling time on his international career after Ireland bowed out of the Euro 2012 group stages.
All this makes for a stellar #One2Eleven, with Duff handing out apologies to Petr Cech, Carlo Cudicini, Brede Hangeland and Bobby Zamora - to name but four - who failed to make the cut. Read on as Duff explains his picks...
Goalkeeper - Mark Schwarzer
This is where upsetting people starts off, and it might be a strange choice having worked with some of the best in Cudicini and Cech at Chelsea and obviously Shay Given throughout my career with the Irish team.
But later in on in my career Schwarzer always jumps out at me. Probably the softest pair of hands I've ever seen on a goalkeeper.
Just the longevity he's shown. He went well into his 40s. Your typical boring Aussie, I guess you'd call him, sorry Schwarzy! But he's a great lad and is the hardest working goalkeeper/player I've ever seen.
Right back - Denis Irwin
I have to go with Irwin. Cool as ice. Never said much but I think he roomed with Roy [Keane] for years and is probably the only person who ever did.
He scored a lot of goals from free-kicks and penalties. Won everything. I don't think I ever got the better of him.
Left back - Ian Harte
I love to play with Harte. He'd pick out anyone. The best left foot I've ever seen in football. He also scored a lot of goals and would put too many miles on my clock as I'd have to help him defend a bit.
Jascon McAteer had the nickname Trigger, but I think Harte could give him a run for that. He's up there as Trigger mark two.
Centre-back - John Terry
JT isn't one of the quickest but he reads the game well. These players have a way of nicking the ball off you. You think you'll run past someone but you don't, and he's made a career out of that - making the right decisions.
People underestimate how good he is on the ball. He's ridiculous - both feet. Great craic, great banter, always messing about in the changing room. So a captain on and off the field no doubt.
Centre-back - Richard Dunne
A toss-up between Hangeland and Dunne, but I need more Irish in my team.
Again, so underestimated. When I played against him throughout my career, every meeting seemed to be about Dunne and that he can't run, can't move and can't turn.
I always felt like putting my hand up and saying, 'You've got it wrong here, gaffer', because literally every manager would mention Dunney.
He's possibly the quickest centre-half I've played with or seen. Just a top lad who gets on with things. Old school. You'd go have a few pints with him on Saturday, and maybe Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday as well. An amazing lad.
Defensive midfield - Roy Keane
A game that stands out is probably against Holland in 2001, when we qualified for the 2002 World Cup.
From midfield, he led us and we ended up turning Holland over. He didn't have to be a screamer he just led by his actions.
The thing about Roy as well is that you have lads throwing these Hollywood passes, sometimes the easiest pass is the best pass and he was the best I've ever seen at that.
A very funny man, people probably don't see that side of it. A dry wit which I find hilarious. But on the pitch, he was an incredible player.
Midfield - Frank Lampard
Right up my street during my time at Chelsea because he just worked so hard - always doing extra in training.
People look at his finishing and think that's natural, but it's not, it's that five-ten minutes training every day and over a career that adds up to an awful lot of time finishing.
That timing of running into the box, I don't think you can coach that but he had that off to a tee. A top lad, great craic and again, likes a pint. Possibly on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday as well.
Midfield - Mousa Dembele
So strong and so quick, perhaps the best I've ever seen at standing someone up and just beating them. It's not even a drop of a shoulder, I don't even know what he does. You think you'll get the ball off him but he just gets his leg across - or his arm - with amazing technique on the ball.
On the other side, if you try and take him on he will just swat you aside. He's a top pro and a great player.
Right wing - Arjen Robben
When I first saw him at Chelsea, it was the first two weeks of pre-season training with Jose Mourinho, but then he got injured and it wasn't until September that came on for the last 20 minutes of a game.
I still hadn't really seen what he was about, but we were 1-0 up against Blackburn and then oh my god, he just sparked that team. Ever with Lampard and Terry, he was the catalyst in that team that broke points records.
He just had that confidence which Dutch players seemed to have. Bordering on arrogant, but a top guy who backs himself even if three people were taking him on.
Left wing - David Villa
A bit random but I played with him for two months at New York.
The ball is only going one place once he cuts inside. I've seen Robben and [Lionel] Messi as an opposing player, but I don't think we've seen anyone better at cutting in from the left than Villa.
Striker - Robbie Keane
I remember at 16 I played a pre-season friendly against Wolves and I think he bagged two. But he was doing stuff that seasoned pros did.
Just so clever around the box and he never lost that. A fearlessness and care-free attitude, which wasn't coached into him, he learnt that on the street - he taught himself.
Not the quickest, not the strongest, doesn't leap the highest. But a hell of a footballing brain. A lot of teams go for athletes but give me Robbie any day.
