4 of them are before my time so I can’t comment on them and will take your word on them, but at fullback I’d put John green every time for his consistency rarely ever dropped a ball and always ran the ball back, I know Jamie was good but we know what happened, Stuart smith tackled everything in sight and not the most flamboyant but he wasn’t there for that, tony Kemp was the most skilled player I’ve seen in a dons shirt, parky was a legend seeing him go over the line with 4 players on his back

Some very good calls there Richard. I'm pleased to see the half back pairing you picked. Very different players but both match winners.

Never saw 2 or 9 ...
But that is a great side and includes the greatest player I ever saw in 34 years of watching the Dons...for flair and entertainment...Paul Mansson.
And this at the very end of his career almost.
What must he have been like at his peak???
