Rat Palace Wednesday

This is our virtual football team that competed throughout the 1998-99 season in a league run by a bloke called Scott.

Our team was in a 4-3-3 formation and the players were selected mostly on the basis that they have silly names. We also like Italians so we included four of them, and a bald bloke for good measure.

The players were as follows, with a link to the official website for their team. Each player got an asterisk (*) every time they featured as the week's Best Current Player and a hash sign (#) every time they featured as the week's Worst Current Player.
