Picking a Best XI of Footballers Whose Names Are Foods

It's been a slow morning at 90min towers so we thought we'd have a bit of fun. In honour of Real Madrid match-winner Nacho, here's our best XI of footballers whose names are also foods...

​Goalkeeper: Dean Gerken

'Gerken or Mark Bunn? Gerken or Mark Bunn? Boy, is this a pickle.'

'Pickle you say?'

Right Wing-Back: Nacho

His crisp finish against PSG was enough for us.

Centre-Back: Frank LeBoeuf (C)

An imMOOvable object.

Centre-back: Yaya Banana

Another one of our five a̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ at the back.

Centre-Back: Mark Fish

We wanted Barry Venison but he was too deer.

Left Wing-Back: Baba Rahman

At his best when steaming down the wing.

Central Midfield: Lasse Schøne

Pronounced 'Scone' not 'Scon', of course.

Central Midfield: Patrick Berger

Great w̶i̶t̶h̶ at chips.

Free Role: Tony Currie

He gets on really well with the manager, Pat Rice.

Striker: Martin Pringle

Once he pops he can't stop.

Striker: Massimo Maccarone

Our tactics are fairly stright-forward: Pasta Massimo at every opportunity.

Subs:
Mark Bunn
Happy Jele
Abel Tamata
Barry Venison
Tamer Tuna

Manager:
Pat Rice
