2nd John Barnes (for the rapping)
2nd Ferenc Puskas
2nd Andres Escobar (sold on Vimes' reasoning)

Nominate (last nomination): Gazza - who can forget those tears in 1990.

Would nominate a couple of West Germans from that era, but I'm out of luck now.

Ah. Gotcha. Obviously wasn't simply enough for a Tottenham fan to understand then, was it?

I'll 2nd Escobar then, and hang the consequences. Did I use up a 2nd on Roger Milla that someone else has 2nded too, though? Or did you ignore that?

Escobar's already in; nominated by NUFAN & seconded by Samuel. & Milla was nominated by fred & ratified by Stuelen, so no.

Feel free to choose again.

Oh FFS.

2nd Puskas... And I'll go and have my medicine now, I think. Hopefully there is a treatment for being mildly ********.
