In the Dream Team series, the Golden Boys name their best five-a-side team consisting of players they’ve played with or against.

Next to reveal his line-up is Watford stalwart Tom Cleverley, whose vast experience at Vicarage Road and with England has influenced his selections...

GK: DAVID DE GEA

There’s Fozzy [Ben Foster] who is brilliant, and I trained with Edwin van der Sar who was amazing, but I never played against him so I have to go with de Gea.

DEF: RIO FERDINAND

He had the touch and class of a No.10, and the positional play and speed of a world-class centre-half.

MID: PAUL SCHOLES

He’s the best player I’ve played with or against. He’s the best player I’ve ever seen!

MID: STEVEN GERRARD

I played against him in the league and alongside him for England, and he was top drawer.

FWD: WAYNE ROONEY

Robin van Persie had the biggest stand-out season I’ve ever seen from a forward, but for his consistency I have to pick Rooney. He had unbelievable tenacity and technique. Rooney and Scholes had the best technique I’ve ever seen.
