Managed to find out Maradona's great grandfather was Croatian, but haven't found that hidden gem yet.

Pretty sure we're waiting on Tubby and Max and then it is your third pick?

Hadn't you already had two?

Edit: No worries. Didn't notice your other pick was for Eel Lobo

I was seriously considering taking the piss and selecting Andre the Giant as my first pick. Stick him up front. 7 foot 4 inches. Ain't nobody stopping him.

There are some names that I thought the same thing

players named after animals, famous profanity in Britain, and rare forms of flatulence.  But decided against the PoP approach :)

Great idea for a draft, I'll be following it closely. Not saying I'll be voting for the team with the most Greek players in it, but I'll be voting for the team with the most Greek players in it.

P.S. the best player in this draft hasn't been picked yet  :-X ;D ;D

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.

To back up Lobo's pick, because earlier we had discussed that Ozi's parents were born in Germany, here is another article [Deutshe Welle] that clears that up.

'Özil was born and raised in the Bismarck neighborhood of Gelsenkirchen. His grandparents moved to Germany's western Ruhr valley with their two-year-old son, Özil's father Mustafa. Young Mesut started his football career at Bornstrasse number 30 — the pitch is only a two-minute walk away from the unassuming yellow terrace house.'
