Before Pablo Hernandez returned to English shores to carve Championship defences apart like a tender Thanksgiving turkey, he spent his career playing with, and against, some of the greatest footballers in the game.

That’s just what happens when you spend four years with Valencia, battling Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of La Liga while testing yourself against the very best on the Champions League stage.

So no wonder Hernandez’s dream six-a-side team is brimming with star quality.

Speaking to LUTV, Leeds’ pass-master found a place for David Silva, David Villa, Michael Laudrup, Lionel Messi and, of course, the peroxide prince Gianni Alioski.

Hernandez also included a man currently plying his trade on the other side of the Pennines at Leeds’ red-clad rivals, Manchester United. But, before you get carried away, this is not Hernandez declaring his love for all things Lancastrian.
