3. I'll go for the 'donkey' Tony Adams of Arsenal. Arsenal back four must be the most impressive of all time with (from) Adams, Dixon, Keown, Winterburn, Bould.
5 Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall and Joel Garner. Although they were maintaining a tradition started in the early 1960s by the equally awesome Wes Hall and Charlie Griffiths.
7 Didier Drogba from the Ivory Coast.
10 Colin Bland.
16 Sir Ian Botham. Took the afternoon off work to see him in full flow and was glad I did !

9 It was Fred Trueman. |I watched this on tv
18 David Boon. 21?
12 his first ball in the ashes was to Jabba the hut. it started on off stump, swung in the air to pitch out side leg stump, turned and bounced to hit the top of off. Series over.
3 Bobby Moore of West ham and Fulham. What am I thinking, Ron Harris Chelsea is the correct answer.
15 Romanian, with a lot of attitude.
