Semple, who won a host of top flight honours during his career, is now a coach with Maiden City Soccer Academy and he goes for a 3-4-3 formation.
So here's Semps best 11 players he played with and the reasons why....
. Mark Tyler
Mark Tyler (Goalkeeper - Peterborough United): I played with Mark at both Norwich city (schoolboy) and Peterborough United. Unbelievable keeper who was as good as any outfield player with his feet, could find you anywhere on the pitch with a pass. He had a few Premier League clubs interested in him at a stage before going on to make over 400 appearances for Peterborough and also represented England at underage level. | jpimedia
. Peter Hutton
Peter Hutton (Right Centre-Back - Derry City): Pizza had everything you would want from your centre back. A great leader who organised and demanded the best from the players around him. Brilliant in the air but also decent with the ball at his feet, also had a few stints in the middle of the park. Fantastic captain of a great Derry team. | jpimedia
. Noel Bailie
Noel Bailie MBE (Sweeper - Linfield): Mr Linfield was always so cool and calm with and without the ball. A great reader of the game who was consistent and made the game look easy in the sweeper role. A great captain who received an MBE for his services to football and rightly so, his appearances and trophies says it all. He is a Linfield legend. | jpimedia
. Adrian Creane
Adrian Creane (Left Centre-Back - Institute): Joe was just a no nonsense centre half that took no prisoners, solid consistent and gave his all for the team. He was not the biggest but he never lost many headers, great leap and as strong as a bull. Key player and leader in a successful Stute team. | jpimedia
. Tom Mohan
Tom Mohan (Right Wing-Back - Derry City): Tom might not have been as technical or skillful as some wingers, but made up for this with his work rate. I honestly have never seen anyone work and run like Tom did, he left everything he had on the pitch. Nightmare for the opposition. He is a top man as well. | jpimedia
. Paul Hegarty
Paul Hegarty (Centre-Midfielder - Institute): Was lucky enough to have played with Higgsy at both Derry and Stute. Another player who gave absolutely everything on the pitch. Got about and always knew when to make that tackle, winning the ball back and doing it simple. So strong in possession. A massive player for us at both clubs, who also would let you know when he was not happy. | jpimedia
