There are not enough Battles on this board, so pick your best XI to win the Battle of Hastings. A couple of things to take into account are the damp climatic conditions of the 11th Century and probable damage to the pitch caused by horses. The scoring rate would need to be fairly high as the match would have to finish before King Alfred burns the cakes. Prince William sydrome dictates that real legends cannot be risked.

Colin Milburn & Nawab of Pataudi jnr should be in on the grounds of already having lost an eye apiece & thus being 50% less likely to suffer the same fate as Harold.
