How many games did you play for the AWs?


Any funny anecdote that sticks out from your career?



Obviously you and I dont usually get along but it is very cool to have our own resident former-AW


*thread hijack apologies*



I have never done this before so here goes.
Peter Lorimer, Francis Lee, Johhny Haynes,George Eastham,Johnny('Budgie) Byrne,Tony Macedo,Jimmy McCalliog,Gordon Banks,John Greig,Tommy Mclean,Jimmy Armfield,Bruce Rioch,Tony Hately,Jimmy Robertson, Keith Weller, Keith Eddy,Jimmy Greenhoff, Geoff Hurst,Nobby Stiles, Pat Crerand,Bobby Charlton, George Best,Stuart Pearson, Sammy Mcllroy, David Armstrong,Graeme Souness.
One thing I remember, and it was not funny.
At half time Pat Crerand had a chat with the Auckland captain and an ex mate of his from  Scotland(Tom McNab) and told him if I fouled Best one more time they would break my legs. I was only a kid and it wad not deliberate, he was just too sharp. One minute he was there the next he was gone.

Probably most of these names could be unknown to you and some are no longer on this planet, but to me, I will never forget them.
