    Of course Necro goes for the Arsenal player over the most obvious :pac:

    I was thinking of going Henry as well, briefly. I would have been Arsenal back in the day but I'd be hard pushed to pick a starting eleven out of everybody in the Premier League today. Last time I was into football Arsenal had Seaman in the nets, Adams, Dixon, Keown and Winterbourne, Henry and Bergkamp up front and the likes of Viera, Llungjberg, Petit, Overmars in the middle.

    I went with the safe choice of Giggsy.

    Lucky the first two were just warm up questions, right? Like preseason friendlies

    Well at least I was right about Cluxton :p

    When Donegal won in 2012, Michael Murphy brought Sam to my Granda's house (he was 90 at the time), had a cup of tea and sat chatting with the old fella for an hour or so. Absolute gent of a man, had to go with him

    ACES - 1:

    Thorpe - Necro
    Bolt - Gru
    Ledecky - Barney92

    I have a feeling Gru didn't read the question right ;)

    Surprised Thorpe aced but then again Phelps is the first name you think of when it comes to swimmers apart from our own Michelle!
