greenun Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Doug Tombes (Midfield): His dead-pan expression and the grave nature of his character do nothing to hide the fact that this player does a lot of spade work all around the pitch, but if a half chance is offered he will bury it. (Occupation - Grave Digger) Maurice & Austin Leyland (Midfield): At one time it was hoped that at least one or other of these twins would become a midfield maestro, but too often they proved difficult to get going and regularly broke down after the shortest run out. Too heavy and slow to compete with the performances of imported foreigners. Between them they nearly bankrupted the previous German owners of the club. (Occupation - Motor Mechanics) Ben Dover (Very Forward): It's a man's game and that's how Ben likes it played - straight up the middle! Always looking for the ball, his plaintive cry of `I'm free!' in the box will bring back happy memories for all who've heard it. Rightly famed for his tackle, especially from behind, and has earned him the nickname of `The Mincer'. (Occupation - Construction Worker...Cowboy...Motorcycle Cop...)
