The Batman Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Talking to a friend of mine over the weekend, he didn't realise that Roy Keane was relegated with Forest back in 1993. He thought he was already at united when it happened. Made me think if I could put together a decent Relegated 11 side. Michael Owen, former balloon d'or winner, relegated with Newcastle in 2009 along with Coloccini, Nicky Butt and Damien duff. Middlesbrough went down with Juninho and Ravinelli Southgate with Crystal Palace, Harry Maguire with Hull City. Centre back pairing there. Kevin-Prince Boateng, David James, Steve finnan and nwankwo Kanu with Portsmouth in 2010. West ham had some good players when they went down, Carrick, defoe, Joe Cole, Di canio. Just a few high profile names to get the brain working. Anyone fancy putting together the best team of 11 relegatees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always going to be behind Jack Charlton and Bobby Moore - he should have got a lot more than four England caps though. He`s 74 now - God that makes me feel old!
