Ex-Dons

[57vintage]

57, I wasn't fortunate enough to see any of Eddie's time in charge.
How would you say his teams compared with Fergie's?

Not easy to do, but I’ve always said that I’d have loved to see the 71 squad face up to its 84 equivalent. I’ve often said that the 71 alumni were probably my favourites.

Clark, Boel, Hermiston, S Murray, McMillan, M Buchan, Forrest, Robb, Harper, Willoughby, Graham. Trips off the tongue like Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot. Outrageously skilled, great pace, and hard as fûck. What more could one ask?

Edit: I was once asked to write an article on the above for the Former Players’ Assn mag ‘Heavenly Dancers’. It had to be canny and safe, so that precluded my go-to potty-typed content. I’ll see if I can rescue it from the files and skite its blandness up here.
