Best Foursomes

Batson, Wile, Robertson, Statham 

Class.

The benchmark for all who have come since. And yet I think they had 3 full international caps between them (all Statham). Although at that time international selection depended more on playing for the ‘right’ team as actual ability.

Amazing that. Ally Rob spoke about this recently. He was definitely overlooked in favour of players in the Scottish leagues who were inferior and faced inferior opposition week in, week out.

Derek Statham was a better player than Kenny Sansom, yet the latter got 80 odd caps.

It's fucking bollocks.
