The Fantasy Football Club: Thomas Sorensen picks his #One2Eleven
Friday 6 September 2013 16:22, UK
Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen has racked up over 350 Premier League appearances and more than 100 caps for his country. But who makes the Stoke stopper's #One2Eleven of the best players he's played with?
ATTACKING MIDFIELDER - Jon Dahl Tomasson People remember Jon Dahl Tomasson in England for maybe not having the best time at Newcastle but everything he's got he's worked to get there. He's not the most naturally gifted player in the world but every single day he was out working on his finishing, his heading, his control. He was well known for his side foot finish, too. He was just called Side Foot in Denmark because all his finishes were with the side of his foot - he was probably the most prolific side footer in football! I'm sure he'd score 15 at least from midfield. STRIKERS - Niall Quinn, Kevin Phillips There are two people I can't really avoid: Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips. Niall wasn't the quickest player but he was so clever in getting in amongst defenders and getting on the right side of them and always being aware of where Kevin or other players were to get them in. He still got his goals as well and chipped in with 10-15 a season. He's one of the nice guys in football on top of being a good player. Then Kevin Phillips is probably one of the best finishers I've ever seen. He's still scoring goals now at 40 and can still play in the Premier League. He's so difficult to read and damn precise. I was lucky enough to play with him when he got the European Golden Boot and scored over 30 goals in the Premier League and he is definitely one of the best strikers I've ever played with.
