Yeah, he wasn't a bad backman for the Eagles for a year or two, there.

What's the matter now, babe?

 

[Jade]

Oh I get it.....

I look at the OP, completely ignore the rest then set out my devious plan.

The plan is, pick a 22 that most would agree with, and then slip in a player or two from my own side....

Maybe I'm cynical, maybe its too much time dealing with the dregs of BF, like HodgePodge (not sure on the spelling, had him/her/it blocked for months).

But either way..... this thread aint gonna work....

From the teams focused on more recent eras, Andrew McKay is sadly lacking. Better than either Mansfield and Worsfold.

Insert Merrett, Wallis, Ronnie Andrews, Conlan and Archer into this team somewhere for completion. Martyn ahead of TD too.
