To mark the start of Euro 2016 , The Chronicle has compiled a European dream team especially for Chester FC supporters.
The use of the word dream might be stretching things given the fleeting contributions of some of those in the team, and to ensure the Blues were able to raise a full team we've included Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
There's no Scottish representation so Chris Iwelumo will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Of course Chester fans do have a former favourite to cheer on in France with Jonathan Walters - who leads the line in our fantasy selection - part of the Irish squad that takes on Sweden, Belgium and Italy in Group E.

But enough of real life, it's time to reveal our European Blues XI with a team that would strike fear into the hearts of Paul Pogba and his French team-mates and leave Thomas Muller and the rest of the German squad quaking in their boots.
Goalkeeper: Stephane Gillet (Luxembourg)
A true international, Gillet won 20 caps for Luxembourg during a career that included spells in France, Germany, Switzerland and England.
Keith Curle signed him in 2006 after Chris Mackenzie was sidelined and the former Paris St Germain shot-stopper had impressed on trial. He showed promise in his first couple of games but soon tailed off and parted company with the Blues after 10 appearances.
Defender: Iain Jenkins (Northern Ireland)
Among the most popular players to wear the blue and white in the past 25 years, Whiston-born Jenkins won six caps for Northern Ireland, for whom he qualified through his grandmother.
The full-back spent five years with the Blues between 1993 and 1998 before being sold to Dundee United, later serving Shrewsbury Town before returning to Chester to finish his career.
Defender: Goran Milosavljevic (Serbia)
The giant Serbian, who could play at the back or in midfield, was part of the international influx at Chester under the ownership of American Terry Smith.
He arrived from French side US Montelimar and went on to play 11 games for the Blues before leaving soon after the appointment of Ian Atkins.
Goran became a scout and football agent after finishing football and worked for Arsenal as part of their Serbian scouting network.
Defender: Luke Dimech (Malta)
With his long hair and Mediterranean good looks, Dimech, who won 78 caps for Malta, was a favourite of female fans during his season with the Blues.
Curle brought him to the club from Mansfield Town and the centre-back was a key part of the Chester side that started the 2005/06 campaign so well, but much like the team his form faded after Christmas.
Now 39-years-old, Dimech is still playing for Sliema Wanderers in the Maltese Premier League.
Defender: Abdou El-Kholti (France)
Born to Moroccan parents in Annemasse in south east France, El-Kholti was a talented if enigmatic left-sided full-back or winger who featured 22 times for the Blues during the 2005/06 campaign.
He helped Yeovil Town win promotion to the Football League before going on to Cambridge United, from where he moved to Chester under Curle.
El-Kholti was released and dropped back into non-league football with Weymouth, Grays Athletic, Rushden & Diamonds, Woking and Hayes & Yeading United.
Midfielder: Roberto Martinez (Spain)
The man known as 'Spanish Bob' captained Chester in 2006/07 and became a firm fans' favourite in his spell with the club, which was curtailed after 31 games when he was appointed Swansea City manager in February 2007.
Born in Catalonia, Martinez began his career with Real Zaragoza and represented his hometown club Balageur before Wigan Athletic brought him to England in 2005.
He spent six years with the Latics and then served Motherwell and Walsall before linking up with the Blues. Martinez managed Swansea from 2007 to 2009 when he took over at Wigan before being named Everton manager in 2013 but the Goodison Park club sacked him last month.
Midfielder: Damien Mozika (France)
Arriving at Chester as an unknown trialist in summer 2008, energetic midfielder Mozika made an immediate impression on manager Simon Davies.
The Frenchman, born in Corbeil-Essonnes, had been on the books of Nancy in his homeland and his impressive performances for the Blues drew interest from Championship clubs.
Mozika featured 22 times before he was sacked for alleged breaches of discipline and released. He then moved to Iranian side Tarbiat Yazd before returning to the UK for spells with Bury, Scunthorpe United and Torquay United.
Midfielder: Jorg Smeets (Netherlands)
Pint-sized winger Smeets made three appearances during a loan spell with the Blues from Wigan Athletic in 1999.
Born in the Dutch town of Bussum, Smeets had been on the books of FC Volendam, FC Utrecht and Heracles Alemo before moving to Wigan in 1997.
Famous for apparently having the smallest feet of anyone to wear the blue and white of Chester with size three boots.
Forward: Siggi Eyjolfsson (Iceland)
Ian Atkins brought Eyjolfsson to Chester on loan from Walsall during the club's unsuccessful battle against relegation during the 1999/2000 season with the tall Icelandic frontman scoring three goals in nine games.

Reykjavik-born Eyjolfsson moved to England in 1999 but departed Walsall soon after returning from his loan spell, signing for KRC Harelbeke in Belgium before returning to his homeland with KR Reykjavik.
He later moved into coaching and became the Icelandic FA's technical director and managed the women's national team. Following a spell in charge of Icelandic Premier League side IBV, Eyjolfsson is now assistant coach at Norwegian club Lillestrom.
Forward: Jonathan Walters (Ireland)
Walters' transformation into a Premier League and international regular began during a six-month stint with Chester in the 2006-07 season.
He arrived from cross-border rivals Wrexham and was an instant fans favourite with his eye for goal and tireless work ethic, which earned him a move to Championship club Ipswich in January 2007.

He spent four years at Portman Road before switching to Stoke for £2.75m in 2010 and made his international debut that November for Ireland, qualifying through his month.
Walters was revered as a national hero after his two goals secured a 2-0 second leg success over Bosnia & Herzegovina in the play-offs to book the Green Army's place at Euro 2016.
Forward: Ian Rush (Wales)
Chester's most famous product, Liverpool and Wales legend Rush made his debut in April 1979. He netted 14 goals in 33 starts, earning the Flint-born striker a move to Anfield for a then record £300,000.
Rush netted 346 goals in two spells with Liverpool and won 73 caps for Wales, scoring 28 times. He also spent time at Juventus, Leeds, Newcastle and Wrexham.
He returned to Chester as manager in August 2008 but resigned eight months later.
