SPENCER DAY put together the greatest side the world has ever seen. Better than any hotchpotch XI on parade in Qatar.

Do I envy the Ryan Reynolds Hollywood aura at Wrexham? No, but if George Clooney fancies subsidising us at Farnborough then I'll save him a seat!

On paper, Farnborough boss Day’s dream team should have had the rocket fuel to climb miles higher than 15th in National League South, where they sit now.

Gordon Banks, Cafu, Franz Beckenbauer, Roberto Carlos, David Beckham, Lothar Matthaus, Johan Cruyff, Paul Gascoigne, Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Gary Lineker would normally be expected to wipe the floor with Concord Rangers or Dulwich Hamlet.

But managing all those galacticos is not as simple as arranging them in a 3-4-2-1 formation and sending them out to put Tonbridge Angels to the sword.

In truth, Day’s all-star cast didn’t quite live up to the legends on the back of their shirts after Farnborough’s players and coaching staff changed their names by deed poll in a £100,000 stunt with bookies Paddy Power to stop the club going bust nine years ago. But when Boro go to the Racecourse Ground in the FA Cup second round, Day wishes he could confront Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney (together above) with more stardust than they've ever seen on Sunset Boulevard.
