The Footie and Music XI

Occasionally I get an idea about assembling a team, but with a theme. I then throw out these challenges on Twitter to see if anyone can help me fill in the teamsheet for a first XI. Last week I was looking for a #RotundXI and got a good few names which I could assemble two teams. Will do that another time though.

Today the idea is more inline to what we are all about – a #FootieAndMusicXI.

I received some excellent suggestions from newfieldchris who runs the Saggar Makers Social Club, and from Fredorrarci who rules Sport Is A TV Show with an iron fist. Thanks chaps.

Below is a rundown of the first team, plus the subs – and a team manager.

The eccentric goalkeeper Arnold Layne who has put that drug thing behind him and is the first name on the list now.

Pink Floyd – Arnold Layne

The solid centre back Charlie Brown, who has a persecution complex and he thinks that the referees are always out to get him. Not good with free kicks.

The Coasters – Charlie Brown

Absolutely nothing is known about this player.

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros – Tony Adams

One of the two Jonnie’s in the team, much to the delight of opposing fans. The veteran Johnny Thunder who has a distinguished career in the top flight.

The Kinks – Johnny Thunder

Partnering his namesake at the back is a tricky right back who’s good at getting up for the crosses, can be see floating into the box.

The midfield enforcer and captain of the team. Do you feel lucky punk ?

Blur – Ernold Same

- and the team coach… who some say walks like a woman and wears a bra…

[Subs Bench]

Three that are gathering splinters, probably make a change around 70 mins if it’s a stalemate:

Jimmy Ray out of the wilderness, signed on a free but fans keep on asking… / The sturdy defender Alex Chilton, just off the treatment table. / The ever retiring reserve ‘keeper Andy Warhol.

[In The Stands]

There were a few others that didn’t make the squad and will have to play their football elsewhere…
You can find these and all the above selections via 6 Mirrors.

If this was an actual team then it would be somebody like Bolton Wanderers. Don’t have a name for this XI. Suggestions below. Also if you’ve got a candidate that the F&M XI scouts should look at. Again leave a comment below.
