The class of 1947

One of the best players of all-time Johan Cruyff is featured in this team, but a lot of the teammates don't hold his level. The depth in the team is weak and defensive midfielder Henri Michel is moved to the central defence to make the numbers.

RB: Karol Dobias; A versatile defender and midfielder, scored in the 1976 Euro Cup final, when Czechoslovakia won the tournament beating West Germany. 5x National champion with Spartak Trnava.
CB: Juan Sol; played most of his career at Valencia winning one Spanish championship. Moved to Real Madrid and won three more.
CB: Henri Michel; 3x French champion with Nantes where he played for 16 years making 567 appearances.
LB: Emlyn Hughes; made 665 appearances for Liverpool, and captained the side to four league titles and two European Cups. Player of the Year in 1977.
