Herbert Sutcliffe (pre WW2)

Oh you bastard to be honest it was wishful thinking for him to fall through to R6 though!

Wouldn't be an awful five-a-side team, that. Haha.

 

[Jager]

Get Miller out of the 6 slot Eds!

 

[Eds]

Haha.

Where would you play him?

 

[Jager]

5 or 7 myself, depending on how much you subscribe to his batting genius.

 

[Eds]

Yeah, he'll end up at 7 I reckon. Well, the keeper would need to be an opener, or a really strong batsman. So, we'll see.

Chester Alan Arthur, 21st President of the United States (1881–1885) = Arthur Dudley Nourse

That's ingenious from watson. Love it.

 

[watson]

We call him Dudley, but I'd always wondered what the 'A' stood for.

 

[kingkallis]

OMG, thats awesome. You pulled off a stunner there Watto!

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha I was wondering when that would happen. Even considered tipping someone off.

Could have got him with the hattrick clause too - was waiting to do so myself actually great pick

Cheers, but there's still a long to go.

Will pick after I've dropped my brief case, put my slippers on, and made a cup of cocoa.

And hopefully before Marcuss wakes-up to unfurl himself from Jemima and Big Ted.

Apparently Courtney Walsh played for Gloucestshire.
