The Alternative Stallion XI


 Criteria: Must have played less than 5 games for the Stallions, but left an indelible impression on the team. I have a few:

Captain: Aaron Ludlow
Shows up for first game vs Uni Raiders. Showed Corey what's up by scoring from left back within a few minutes. Looked like the start of a great thing. The next tackle sees Aaron's ankle snap. He limps off, never to play for the Stallions again, but his legend lives on(though thankfully avoided this year round).

Vice Captain:
Nick G's mate Dan. Answered an SOS in the best ringin style. Plays rightback, scores 2 goals (though unlike Ludlow's 40 meter effort was a bit more in the mould of Corey's roaming back/goal poacher). After the game declares he's not interested in playing for the Stallions again.

Wingback: Bakie
We have all heard the stories of greatness, seen the Golden boot celebrations, waited the time when Backie would strap on his boots for us. Finally it happened - most memorable moment: Dan yelling out 'Wingbakie'.

Talking about Dan, Daniel Hodges
Ben was always talking up the possibilities of Big Brother coming along, and when it happened a few times one thing was always clear - Dan loved taking the piss of his bro, which made him fit in rather well. Do I recall Dan getting into a fight as well?

Oh yeah, and I forget the name of that keeper ringin we got for one match - you remember the one - he showed up in a tight purple disco jersey.

Any other nominations?
