    Coventry v Spurs and Liverpool v Wimbledon. Games lit up by the magic of the likes of.....

    Chris Waddle
    Clive Allen
    Gary Mabbutt
    Steve Hodge
    Cyrille Regis
    Dave Bennett
    Keith Houchen
    Peter Beardsley
    Alan Hansen
    Steve Nicol
    John Barnes
    Denis Wise
    Dave Beasant
    Eric Young
    Lawrie Sanchez

    And that's just off the top of my head. No prizes for guessing what all those players have in common......... (and but for a technicality we could sneak John Aldridge and Ray Houghton on to the list)

    Exactly. Not exactly a toughie, more just a comment on the state of the top level game in England now. So many great players from all over the home nations, participating in the showpiece matvh of the season. Sad that it doesn't happen any more.

    I think you're doing a bit of a disservice to the dashing Dave Bennett and his floppy afro. I also forgot to mention the rugged good looks of Brian Kilcline.
