Asking footballers for their all-time best XI of former teammates is now new trend, but it's always interesting to see what mismatch of changing room colleagues are hashed together.
Kieran Trippier has delivered his XI for Wolves' social media team, and it's quite the side. The 36-year-old's career has taken in spells at clubs including Burnley, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Newcastle United, though there were no former teammates from the Magpies, who he left in the summer for Wolves.
The former England international has a front two that boast four European Golden Shoes and 1002 career club goals and counting, while Mousa Dembele marshals the midfield, as the former Tottenham star continues to be the footballers' favourite footballer.
Trippier named former Atletico Madrid teammate Jan Oblak as his goalkeeper, with ex-Spurs and England teammates Kyle Walker and Danny Rose at full-back.
John Stones partnered Toby Alderweireld in central defence, withLa Liga stalwart Koke joining the aforementioned Dembele in midfield.
Marcos Llorente was selected on the right-hand side, ahead of Miguel Almiron, while Son Heung-min was Trippier's pick from the left. In attack, a mouth-watering pairing of Harry Kane and Luis Suarez lead the line.
It's a seriously impressive team.
