In a game that has seen many footballing names from the depths of the old football sticker albums reappear, Jamie quite brilliantly created "Old School dream team" last night.
Quite concerning was the fact that the brainwave came about while Jamie was in the toilet but still, a grand idea nonetheless.
The premise was built as we made our Sun Dream Teams for next season and not fully satisfied from the maths of trying to fit in £50 million worth of players into eleven positions, the idea came about of an old school dream team game.
The rules: We had to choose a team of ex-Premiership players that MIGHT get on Sky Sports News or Match of The Day/Match of the Day 2 this season. We weren't allowed any ex-pros that consistantly appeared on these programmes such as Matt Le Tissier, Gary Linekar or, dear lord, Graeme Le Saux.
So for a good half hour we pondered over our line-ups (it took me slightly longer) before deciding on a squad of eleven plus one manager that may appear on SSN or MOTD/2 in the coming months. The rules are that if we see the ex-pro once, we score a point and they are then removed from the game (we can't count the same player twice, to avoid controversy if one of them gets a high profile job and is always on).
Somehoe we didn't manage to both name the same player though Stan Collymore was ommitted from my team by the use of our "one veto each" rule. I will reveal the teams later....
