That's about right Dodge.
You need FOURTEEN. - that lot would be hard pushed to beat Stafford Rangers Reserves, - they would probably need Cullimore back there though.

to be called the best player ever you have to have all the attributes! same as being called the best angler ever! you gotta be able to do the lot! otherwise you cant be crowned the best! and beckham sure aint the best! all he can do is put a cross or pass into the box! he may be good at that..but thas all
