He did ask if he could pick himself in every position but I put my foot down!


Anyway this is Alex Murphy's Dream Team - and I've got to say it's a cracker.

1 David Eckersley
2 Des Drummond
3 Gordon Lewis
4 Trevor Allen
5 Joe Walsh
6 John Woods
7 Alex Murphy

8 Dave Chisnall
9 Kevin Ashcroft
10 Stan Owen
11 Mick Marytn
12 Tommy Martyn (Snr
13 Peter Foster

14 Jeff Clarkson
15 Charlie Pawsey
16 Jimmy Ledgard
17 Bev Risman

Coach: Alex Murphy (naturally)


These players also get an honourable mention:

Mick Collins (very unlucky to miss out)
Peter Smethurst (would lay down his life and never took a backward step)
Alf Wilkinson (strong forward, good player)
Derek Pyke (great pair of hands, great football player)
Stuart Ferguson (could play centre, full back, wing and a magnificent goal kicker)

Also Steve Donlan, Terry Bilsbury and Mick Hogan.

Oops sorry, my mistake - I don't know how I managed to put Trevor, of course it's Peter.

I'm glad one of us is awake.
