Our 8th clash of the opening round sees two full-backs(?) up against each other, so hopefully an easier one for Mick to make comparisons.
Ive still got a badge Tony Bentley gave me of his town in Canada. The best player he played against was Don Rogers.
Tony Bentley bought me a drink in the Shrimpers Bar!
Tony Bentley for me, by a country mile. He was a good defender, if a bit on the short side, and a superb, attacking, overlapping full back in the days before the idea of full backs attacking had caught on.
Tony arrived as a winger, quickly converted to wing half and finally re-converted to full back - hence the excellent overlapping.
He also coached us at school.
Always has time for a chat when he's over from Canada.
A star.
