  • from what i'm reading on twitter, and the 'well done he's 13 comment' to Michael Owen, i'd start with big Neville Southall.

    then

    Eddie Youds (obvs)
    Le Tiss
    Dennis Irwin (have to have someone from fergie's utd so went lower key, but Irish so imagine he'll enjoy a pint)

    Good question.

    Puts me in mind of the 'quickly kevin' podcast, brilliant show about 90s football.

    I'd rather have played with many of those listed when I was a lad, so that I could have had more interest in playing... Instead I only really started to kick a ball at 16.

    Went to Harry’s funeral a while back.....Paul Went was there and I had a long chat with him.....who would have thought that not long after he too would pass away, though he did look very unwell when I saw him.

    Mark Kinsella
    Roy Keane
    Paul Ince
    Muzzy Izzet

    Not a terrible midfield either, none of them bar Kinsella mean much to me as players however they were all around at the tipping point of football when it got far more analytical and science based yet where young enough to have their share of stories from club football and from sharing dressing rooms with some real monsters to seeing the game change into what it has now become.

    They are all rumoured to enjoy a skimish as well, however in the spirit of the original post (I've just worked out what OP means) I reckon these guys would be old enough to not be ordering up packets and getting folded yet would give amazing conversation. Fucking hell I feel old writing that

  • Jimmy Greaves
    Rodney Marsh
    Frank Worthington
    Don Hutchinson

    The first three you just know are going to be as entertaining as they were as players. As for Hutchinson, seen a lot of him as a pundit and talks a really good game and you know he's got stories.
