Imagine a diamond generation, a world where all the living legends of football between 1880 - 2016 congregated on the earth at the same time. Imagine managing one of these teams. When the opposition you face is likely to have a team full of legends as well. Where tactics are everything because one mistake will be punished.
Imagine putting your wits against the crème de la crème of management and chairman, managers like Brian Clough in their prime. Imagine facing Maradona, Pele, Sindelar, Di Stefano, La Maquina, Torino before the Superga disaster. Imagine facing or managing the best managers and players who ever existed; can you beat the total football Ajax team, or Liverpool made up of stars from the eighties, or can you survive a game against the dirty Leeds.
Can England finally win a tournament and who do you put in goal, Shilton, Banks, Seaman, what about the wings, Matthews, Finney to name but a few, and who are the powers in England now, Manchester United, Liverpool... but since we are going back from 1800, you're gonna have to watch out for Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle, and other sleeping giants who have WOKEN UP!
Who would you pick to come up against the Austrian wunderteam or the Dutch maestros, or the Hungarian giants, can you defeat the Germans now? Who will prevail and dominate the world full of legends? Can Wimbledon seriously survive the Premiership under the guidance of Dave Basset, what you gonna do when Pele and Maradona come for you? We are about to find out!

While that is possible to do, it is for someone else, because the Ultimate Legends series which I created in 2014 and now again in 2016, is encompassing all legends and stars from 1880 - 2016. you can of course if you want take on a team and only sign players from a certain decade but its not for me. football began in 1880 and all players deserve inclusion and deserve to be there. hopefully this way it is more educational as well.
Impressive how many legends who has played football, and done some spectacular stuff over the decades.
Good job.
Adrian Doherty was supposedly better than Ryan Giggs but never really got into football and sadly died about a decade back; could you create him if possible.

Landon Donovan is a non-player
Jesper Blomqvist is a non player
Bizente Lizarazu is part basque as he spent a season at Bilbao
Dado Prso is a non player
the likes of Geremi, Joan Capdevila, Igor Tudor, Kakha Kaladze, Simone Perrotta and Jon Dahl Tomasson are all non-players
Hong Myung-bo and Cha Bum-kun are both considered to be two of the greatest Asian players of all-time; I'd like to see them in the game
