Your all time greatest bees starting XI

[Jimbo]

you can select eleven (chosen for their performances IN a bees shirt and not what they did before or after) + 5 subs.

Could you also select a captain and also give an idea of how long you have been watching Brentford so we get an idea of the number of players and teams you have picked from...thanks
