The football season is a month old and that us got thinking, what Radio DJs would make our team? Tenuous? Yes. The result of daydreaming? Definitely. Read On? You Should!
Goalkeeper - Liz Kershaw
Everyone knows goalkeepers get better with age and Kershaw's vital experience is crucial to the team. The bolshie Northerner provides great vocal support for the back four and has just the right amount of crazy all world class keepers need.
Right Back - Ian Camfield
The XFM stalwart has been tried and trusted in every slot on weekday radio. This ability to adapt and remain consistent makes him the Gary Neville pro we’re looking for. Plus, his love of Motorhead means he will organise the teams Christmas outings inevitably ending on the front pages.
Left Back - John Kennedy
The XFM veteran has seen it all in his 20 year. His calming influence will give the younger players a the reassurance to put their foot on the ball and trust in their ability.
Centre Back John Peel (Captain)
Peel was the only contender for the captain role. His ability to read the game and be ahead of the opposition will provide a Bobby Moore classiness that all teams dream of having.
Centre Back - Phill Jupitous
Alongside every ball playing centre half should be a colossus ball winner. In Jupitous we have just that. His big heart will see him stick his head where he shouldn’t and will take prisoners unless Peel keeps him on a leash.
Holding Midfield - Shaun W Keavney
Sitting in front of the back four is the glue that binds BBC6 together. Always dependable and doing the unwanted yards of breakfast radio sometimes earns the ‘water carrier’ tag, but SWK’s regular flashes of brilliance will unlock defences from deep.
Attacking Midfield - Stuart Maconie
A product of the Tika Taka seems unlikely from Lancashire but Maconie and his years in the freakzone will terrify defences.
Right Midfield - Steve Lemacq
Every team needs a James Milner or Darren Fletcher to counter balance the flair on the other wing and Lemacq is ours. Industrious, runs all day and has more quality in possession than many realise at first glance. He will be forever under-appreciated by arm chair fans but season ticket holders will know how he important he is.
Left Midfield - Lauren Laverne
Silky, pacey and a left foot so wand like that every cross will lead to a chance. Older fans will relish Laverne’s old school trickery reminiscent of the dear departed Davie Cooper and the celebration king Lee Sharpe.
Centre Forward - Eddy Temple Morris
One half of our two pronged dance music attack. Eddy is tall and rangy and will threaten with his pace and has finishing so good it makes Batistuta blush.
Centre Forward - Rob Da Bank
Playing slightly deeper than Eddy to link play, Da Bank is our quiet unassuming genius ala Bergkamp, looking to supply chances and bury the occasional chip for us to drool over.
