Top 10 takeaways from the Legends game

  • Despite sporting a belly that would earn him a good seeding at the World Darts championship, Shoey can still pull off a save. We suspect his pair of blocks in the first half probably gave him as much pleasure as any in his career!
  • Guy Branston doesn’t really do friendlies.  Fellow legend or not, Aaron O’Connor needed to know who was boss, and the look on his face was a treat as Branno took the man not the ball in a late ‘coming together’.
  • Big Ron is now Medium Sized Ron, but thank god still has the orange glow and miraculous combover.
  • AOC hasn’t aged a day since he was last tearing up defences at Latimer Park; if anything he looked sharper – or maybe that was just how it seemed after a season of starvation rations.

  • Tark can still beat his man on the outside, with due allowance for the game being played at one quarter speed.
  • The Latimer Park bobbles had done their homework on JP, and those hoping for a trademark bit of sorcery were disappointed… though there was one last glimpse of him falling and regaining his feet without losing possession.
  • How the hell does Eddie McGoldrick look that young?

  • Team Glover/Ashby obviously leaned more towards Ashby on the tactics side, and spared puffing middle-aged fatties the task of chasing after long upfield punts.
  • Brett has kept himself fit and looks ready for another five seasons or so, back in red.     
  • The day was a huge success and everyone involved in making it happen should take a bow.  Now lets build on it by doing even more to celebrate our heritage – such as inviting other Legends back as matchday guests of the club on a regular basis, to wave to the fans, thank them for their service and keep the nostalgia flowing!
