With the silly season kicking off for the edds on transfers. I was thinking what would your ideal dinner party guests be. You can choose any sport and any era up to 4 choices
Mine are
Mohamed Ali
Gareth Edwards
Bill Shankly
Ian Botham.
05 Jun 2025 12:53:13
I'd have Ali and Shankly, too.
Maybe Shane Warne ?.
And Barney Curley ?.
I'd like a rugby league legend, too, but I can't think of one to displace that four.
{Ed025's Note - im not sure if dead people are allowed at this soiree but if they are mine would be...
Shane Warne
Mohammad Ali
Rodger Federer
Rob Burrow..
05 Jun 2025 13:16:47
Maradonna
Gascoigne
Balotelli
Southgate
Just to watch Southgate's face when the night descends in to a mental party.

Barney curley. The man who beat the bookies was just brilliant Rigsby.
05 Jun 2025 13:26:31
Kenny Dalglish
Kenny’s translator
Steven Bradbury
Georges St Pierre.
05 Jun 2025 13:25:51
Ed 25. Roger fed is a good choice.
I'd be tempted to invite Duncan Ferguson just to watch the chaos.
{Ed025's Note - Rodger always comes across as a nice guy Bmena and what a champion he was, Dunc does not make my party mate but he can be on the door.. :)
05 Jun 2025 13:43:06
Great shout Rigsby - Barney Curley - the stories that man could tell - if he would is another story .
05 Jun 2025 14:04:00
I may be a bit more old school but it would be
Roger Hunt
Bob Paisley
Jack Nichlaus
Rober E Lee
Last one obviously not footy related but i don't care.
{Ed001's Note - I don't think I would want a slave owner and trader at any dinner party I was attending.}

Correct, twinkletoes.
I read his book and the planning that went into the 2010 gamble was incredible.
Good call with Rob Burrow, Ed025. Possibly Kevin Sinfield, too.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Rigsby not only 2 great players but 2 great people as well mate, and im hoping it will be....Sir Kevin Sinfield in the near future..
