    I bet most followers of any sports team have favs who weren't perhaps of the first rank talent-wise. On that note I give you the immortal Perry Groves:



    Best remembered for his uncompromising gingerness, having the first touch of a nervous virgin & for setting up both of Charlie Nicholas's goals in the 86/87 Littlewoods Cup win over Liverpool. Famously the first occasion when Ian Rush scored and Liverpool lost.
    - As featured in The Independent.

    "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
    - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads

    Mike Garnham!

    Would put Iain O'Brien on the list, but he's very heralded. Very.

    Fascist Dictator of the Heath Davis Appreciation Society
    Supporting Petone's Finest since the very start - Iain O'Brien
    Adam Wheater - Another batsman off the Essex production line
    Also Supporting the All Time #1 Batsman of All Time Ever - Jacques Kallis and the much maligned Peter Siddle.
