    Is that true about Ted Drake? Wow. Just googled and read the Cricinfo page. Never knew that. Or that he managed the Chavs to the only league they won instead of bought. Or that he married a girl he met at the gasworks dance. His bowling average was 42 - same as his goals in a season record.

    Auba's scored 8 in 9 so far, I believe. Would be great if he could score a goal a game this season.

    I think Joe Hulme was another one - and Leslie Compton of course. I believe Tony Adams was a decent player - can't remember where I read that though. Must have been one of last allowed to play a bit before GG banned it

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Cruel on the Afghanistanians there. Showed there Taliban fighting instincts for 38 straight overs.

    Parkies needed 24 off the final two…Asif Ali smashes 4 sixes. Brutal.

    They’ll be plenty of tears in Tower Hamlets tonight.
