Much like the Ryder Cup, the diverse nature of the Premier League affords us the luxury of dreaming of pitting England's best athletes against those from further ashore.

Though the Three Lions have not won an International trophy since the infamous 1966, there’s little doubt we have had the privilege of watching some of the best English talent ply their trade in front of our eyes and screens over the last few years, with many of us able to watch living legends of the game on a weekly basis.

In fact, many of them are teaming up for the Icons of Football series later in June and it will certainly be a pleasure to watch some of the best England have to offer reunite, even if it is away from the football pitch and now on the golf course.

The likes of Alan Shearer, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes (all of whom make our legend eleven) will team up with former colleagues Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Paul Ince, Kevin Phillips and Teddy Sheringham to take on the Rest of World this summer.

Between them, they have a raft of international experience and will be no strangers to handling the pressure of playing for England, having amassed so many appearances between the lot.

Elsewhere, Premier League star James Milner and Phil Jagielka - both of whom have represented their nation at the last few international tournaments - will also be major parts of Lee Westwood’s team.

With so many domestic and international trophies between those lining up for Westwood, he’ll no doubt be hoping they bring their winning expertise to the Belfry in June.
