I'm at work so can't check right now, but if that's true, I may have to take a short walk outside with my revolver :shock:

I’ve verballed you a few times already and if I’m the one who’s wrong I’ll borrow that gun.

I wouldn't do it for the likes of a Stewart Robson, but if I have forgotten Potts, he'll have to get a bye to the next round and go in a group of 5, I think.

I'm sure I've seen Steve Pott's.

I voted Boa Morte over him..

Or was it Upson?

Potts was in group 2 with TC and Dev (who won).

A travesty we lost both of them so early.

Apologies, I missed that. What a horrible group…

I thought you guys were taking the pee about Potts being left out as wasn't it a bit of a running joke that he got robbed by being in such a tough group? I recall someone being upset about it :crossed:

Given it's a popularity vote, the only other possible omission I can think of is Faubert. Became a bit of a cult figure. Unsworth was likeable too but only stayed a season. Danny Williamson maybe?

Really, the only player I can think was harshly omitted is probably Mullins. Made over 200 apps for us and a very reliable performer. I'm sure he'd win a popularity contest against Ince. :grin:

Yes, fair enough. Mullins should have been in. I don't think he would have won his group though, so I can live with it.

Faubert is a painful one. I had such high hopes for him and seeing his name on the shirt was quite a kick as it's almost identical to my own. But in the end, it was generally a bit disappointing.

Just depends on the draw.
You can be the second best, but if you meet the best in an early round you are going out.

Yep. Next round is groups of 4 again, so he could be in with Bonds, Brooking and Moore.
