Guessing we're listing the year/competition with picks, right? Even though we're doing overall careers, it would be great to have accompanying pics from the time/year if possible.

By my calculations (rough) - we have 78 teams to pick from?

1972 to 2017 EUROPA/UEFA
1961 to 1999 Winner's Cup

Wow, what a synthesis to take on in one night.

Giving us over 1000 players to pick from. Easy peasy.

I'm not entirely sure what his long term goal was. He usually has more finesse then this. The last time anyone left anything in a shared space, he logged into their spotify account and renamed all the playlists into varying shades of sexual innuendo, as well as secretly planting Cheeky Girls tracks on several of them.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Anyway, I've copied over the text and replaced it. That's fine. But I'm on a job away from home and don't have access to my home computer where the Selection order is. Can we remember the order? Or would people prefer we redid it? We can get someone impartial like Nick to do it, so no-one thinks I'm Sepp Bletty.

Well Lastador was first, so maybe if we just randomise the rest we can crack on?

Does anyone have the final list of people joining in? Is it just the 14 on the front page?

We could redo it, but let Lastador keep Maradona and skip his turn on the first round, wherever he lands up in the new draft order.
