This Picking "The Best Team" Not "The Best Players" Thing (take 2)

Everyone always says that the 1966 team was an example as such (ie) the best team, but not the best 11 players available-so what would have been the best team we could have picked then if the best players available at the time had been picked-I suspect there would be little difference myself which really blows that argument out of the water.
