Having got back FM (server down?), I have to say that I laughed at Ron's selection.
This is supposed to be a match angling hall of fame - the legends if you like, and especially the brilliant to watch.
So whilst Ron's inclusion of Billy Lane is fine, and I would include Walker and Graham amongst the greats, the rest are good anglers and no more. As for the DVSG being considered in the same breath as the likes of man-fish (John Dean), who are you kidding? Bob's a good club match angler, the rest aren't even match anglers in the way I would describe them.
Anyone who remembers some of JD's match results in 300 peg Burton Joyce matches will know what I mean. The man was a genius.
Peter,
Don't worry (not that you should need to, seem to remember having to show him how to plumb up!), us old match secretaries can get you any result you want!
