There's been some talk about a joint UK football team for the 2012 Olympics. The Scottish and Northern Irish FAs are completely against it and so are most fans including myself. I can't see it happening but for a bit of fun I wondered what the team would be.
Seen as the tournament is four years away and pretty hard to predict who will be at their peak at that time lets imagine the tournament was tomorrow. Who would you pick? All players must be under 23 but you are allowed 3 older players. Here's mine:
Joe Hart (Eng) 20
Alan Hutton (Sco) 23
Micah Richards (Eng) 19 John Terry (Eng) 27
Gareth Bale (Wal) 18
Scott Brown (Sco) 22
Steven Gerrard (Eng) 27 Barry Ferguson (Sco) 30
Ashley Young (Eng) 22
Gabriel Agbonlahor (Eng) 21
Wayne Rooney (Eng) 22
