Thread on BF naming best 22's and along with my best ever sides I've included the following...
Biggest disappointments, for a number of reasons such as injuries, recruited too late in careers, unrealised potential, or just not as good as I thought they could/should be:
B ~ J Croall ~ B Gloury ~ P Yagmoor
HB ~ B Plain ~ T Walker ~ R Cole
C ~ P Walsh ~ D Roach ~ D Millane
HF ~ H Shephard ~ P Carman ~ J Greening
F ~ M Orval ~ A Edwards ~ B Dick
R ~ C Wood ~ P Karnezis ~ G Shaw
I/C from ~ G Richards ~ A Hrysoulakis ~ S Cox ~ C Egan ~ B Boyd ~ P Rizonico ~ T Davidson ~ T Hotton ~ B Nixon ~ B Morrison ~ T Keays ~ D Woodhall ~ G McLean ~ J Bourke ~ J Ballantyne ~ S Rusling ~ L Walker
He was such a disappointing waste of talent. |
