The players excluded from Emmanuel Petit’s Dream Team could dominate football for eons

This lad played with some collection of world-class footballers.

Emmanuel Petit was on Sky Sports Fantasy Football Club this morning and was asked to name his all-time XI of men he shared the pitch with. Given that he played with Arsenal's Invincibles, Chelsea, Barcelona and the World Cup-winning French team, Petit had a heap of talent to choose from. This is the team he came up with. Pretty damned good. However, the players Petit left on the (hypothetical) sidelines are something else.

Subs: Victor Valdes, Pep Guardiola, Yordi Djorkaeff, David Trezeguet... Ray Parlour.
