    He needs to raid his old clubs here, like Wolves, Sheffield United and Wolves first.

    A couple of the players in the Rowdies' squad - sorry, on the Rowdies' roster - are English. No idea whether they're any good though. Apparently one of them is their midfield lynchpin.

    If you could at their careers they seem fairly low level…standard probably about non league I reckon?

    I've been watching some Rowdies games on YouTube. The skill level and technical ability looks ok, though without the intensity you see in England. Although a lot of that could be connected with the fact that the Florida climate isn't exactly conducive to haring around a field for 90 minutes.

    The deeeee-fences looked extremely shoddy, and the atmosphere extremely lame. On the upside, the Rowdies have improved hugely since we saw them in 1992, when our school side would have given them quite a serious run for their money.

    Apart from the $2 pizza slices, which were actually a quarter of a pizza which was the size of a bin lid. They were amazing!

    Still one of my favourite matches ever.

    Agreed. I can't believe that @YTBFC hasn't at least considered the idea of a live commentator. It would be amazing. Especially if there was a different co-commentator every week, chosen through a random draw of season ticket holders.

    That would be class - just mic up three seats at random each week

    might be a bit harsh if the guy who berates cole week in week out no matter how well he plays, is selected to commentate
