Satt och läste den här tråden och tänkte "Matthews? Var är Matthews?" ända tills Conehead kom in och räddade situationen. Bruce Matthews får min röst - inte minst för att han skiftade positioner allt efter lagets behov. Att spela samtliga matcher under ett decenium är ju också en skaplig prestation.  14 ProBowls är också hyfsat. Håller med om att gubbar som Jim Otto har ett betydligt mycket högre kult-värde, men om man pratar slitvargar så tycker jag ändå att The Bruce står högst i kurs. |
