Is it just 11 you need or do you want the correct positions?

any position will do ( a specialist goalie would be good) but they have to be playing currently

I think there's another Alan at Braga.

By the way - like the username.

Pick a division, pick a club, look at their squad.

You will be able to find 11 goalies with an english name in the top flight alone, but Lee is probably your best bet. Or Muriel if you would prefer a lady.

what about Lucas, or William?
Berbatov wins golden boot, spends following season on the bench while his team loses title on goal difference. Well played, Fergie.

Fear the man who owns a copy of football manager.

Alex, Danny, Jefferson, Victor, David, Lucas, Fred, Miranda, Jo, Jonas, Oscar, Willian(close), Igor, Bruno, Carl, Walter, Douglas, Henrique, Leo, Bill, Wellington, Alan, George(believe it or not, there is a Brazilian footballer called George Lucas), Wallace, Gabriel, Wilson, Cristian.

I think you should be able to get enough from there.

Carl's not an English name. Really
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

There is a Wallace and Douglas on the list and he went with Cris, no accounting for taste there.

As an aside, the 1974 Argentinian World Cup squad featured some interesting name combinations, with British surnames and Spanish christian names.

Off the top of my head, three spring to mind :- Carlos Babbington, Jose Luis Brown and Rene Houseman.

In the early 20th century, British workmen had gone to Argentina to build the railways there and a number had stayed and married Argentinian girls, hence such an outcome.
