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
