The West Ham cult hero selects a blend of England legends, Fulham favourites and a mad-footed midfielder

MY PERFECT XI BOBBY ZAMORA

MARK SCHWARZER

“A machine. Mark played so many games in his Premier League career and you could just rely on him. A top bloke around the dressing room and some of the saves that he made on our Europa League run in 2010 saved our bacon.”

CHRIS BAIRD

“For a centre-forward, Chris was a dream. He could ping it upfield and land it on my chest with the right pace and precision every time. If you wanted a ball played somewhere, he'd just know and would pick it out. That's the kind of delivery that makes a striker look good.”

BREDE HANGELAND

“Brede was big, strong and hugely underrated. It's mad he wasn’t snapped up by a top club in his prime. There was talk of a move to Arsenal when we were at Fulham, though it never materialised. He would have done a job for them.”

JOHN TERRY
