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 manager's favourites. For example Junior Lewis was signed by Peter Taylor on more than one occasion for different clubs. We're looking for any player who has been signed by the same manager for at least two different clubs.
Let's get the ball rolling with our latest Team Teaser by adding in the likes of Thierry Henry up front and Maniche in midfield. Henry signed professional forms under Arsene Wenger at Monaco in 1992 before the being signed by The Gunners' long-serving manager again in August 1999. Jose Mourinho brought Maniche to Porto before re-signing him again after taking over at Chelsea. Thanks go to Paul Kay and Keith Brennan for the suggestions.
Richard Gough has been added after being signed by Walter Smith for Rangers he was then signed by Smith again in 1999 at Everton. Richard Kelbrick spotted that one. Sam Foster remembered Olivier Kapo was signed by Steve Bruce for both Birmingham and Wigan.
Gough will be partnered at the heart of the defence by Senegal international Abdoulaye Faye, who was suggested by Russell Thompson. The powerful centre-half is certainly a firm favourite of Sam Allardyce, after the former Bolton and Newcastle boss worked with the African ace at the Reebok Stadium and St James' Park. Looking to provide a creative influence in the middle of the park, Stiliyan Petrov gets the nod. The Bulgarian playmaker was signed for Celtic by Martin O'Neill in 1999 before joining the Ulsterman for a second time at Aston Villa seven years later. Petrov was suggested by a host of people, including Alan Parker, Steven Riley and Richard Kelbrick.
