What a team we have here. A true offensive power. They may not be the prettiest side, but the goals are sure to come with a fury. The squad looks more than capable of overwhelming previous incarnations the Ginger XI, Middle Earth XI, and LMFAO XI. Lalas makes another surprise inclusion, his third straight such honor. Defenders: Alexi Lalas, Steve Bould, John Metgod, Jaap StamMidfielders: Yordan Letchkov, Peter Noble, Zinedine Zidane, Bobby CharltonForward: Grzegorz Lato, GervinhoGoalkeeper: Brad Fiedel Manager: Martin Jol But it’s the depth astounds here, with stalwarts such as Arjen Robben, Alfredo de Stefano, Attilio Lombardo, Wesley Sneijder, Michael Bradley, Esteban Cambiasso, Stephen Ireland and David Armstrong all coming off the bench when the occasion calls. Obviously, the great Pierluigi Collina will serve as the team’s official referee.

After our Middle Earth XI  and LMFAO XI blazed across the interwebs, GFOP Paul King challenged us to come up with an all-gingie team. His wish is our command. We are proud to present the Ginger XI. It’s a team that made a lie of the chant Tottenham fans used to sing to Gary Doherty: “There’s only one Ginger Pele, one Ginger Pele.” And while they may be beaten for pace, this team will never be matched in the melanocortin-1 receptor gene department.

With Paul Scholes return, we have been on somewhat of a ginger kick at MiB. So we appreciate GFOP Gabriel Knowles’ eagle eyes as he suggests Bolton’s Adam Bogdan deserves a mention in the best ginger players conversation, particularly when he’s sporting the matching orange kit — not to mention a slight resemblance to the Bolton mascot, Lofty the Lion.
