Team-MatesTeam Teaser - Baldies
Welcome to skysports.com's Team Teaser. This is the game where you have the chance to help us fill in the missing blanks.
We provide you with a theme and you have to compile together a starting XI based on that theme. If you have a Team Teaser idea you would like running feel free to drop me an e-mail at james.pearson@bskyb.com with words 'team teaser' in the headline. Please e-mail only with ideas, not answers.
For example if the theme was East Enders then an ideal defender would be 'Terry Butcher' as in 'Pat Butcher' and so on until the line-up is complete!
Our new theme is Baldies. Footballers who are bald! Thanks go to Mark Waring for coming up with the idea.
We've had plenty of entries for our new Team Teaser so thanks to Dermot Boylan and Johnny Shirley for suggesting Attilio Lombardo while Steve Dann and Deklan Tanner put Fabien Barthez's name forward. Italian winger Lombardo had a spell in English football in the late 90s after joining Premier League new-boys Crystal Palace, but he was unable to save them from the drop. French shot-stopper Barthez joined Manchester United in 2000 for £7.8million. Well-known for being eccentric, Barthez's Red Devils career began well but it faltered and Sir Alex Ferguson's patience finally ran out.
As always your views have been flooding in this week. (Not literally!). So I've had plenty of names to choose from. I've gone for former Newcastle, Wolves and Dundee man Temuri Ketsbaia, who is now manager of Anorthosis Famagusta. Scott Dougherty and Danny Morgan wanted Ketsbaia in the team. Ketsbaia joined Newcastle United in the summer of 1997 on a free transfer. A popular figure with Magpies' fans, he is not only remembered for his performance, but also for his bizarre celebrations. Joining Ketsbaia in the team is ex-Arsenal defender Pascal Cygan. Killian Woods and Marc Coleman suggested the French defender's name. Cygan spent three seasons with The Gunners before slipping too far down the pecking order and joining Villarreal.
The team is starting to take shape now following the additions of former Chelsea duo Frank Leboeuf and Gianluca Vialli. The pair arrived at Stamford Bridge in 1996 as part of Ruud Gullitt's new-look side. Vialli went on to become player-manager following Gullitt's sacking two years later while Leboeuf made 144 appearances for The Blues scoring 17 goals. Nick Kavanagh and Terry Unsworth put forward Vialli's name while Kelly Robinson and Jonny Masin both suggested Leboeuf.
