    If you could bring back 1 ex SAFC player from retirement to play again for us and
    If you could bring back 1 non SAFC player from retirement to play for us who would they be. And why?


    Nicked this from FB.

    This thread is displaying many layers of footballing generations. You get a good grasp on people's age from this imo.

    Somewhat shatters Bri's theory about being able to tell posters' ages, I had to Google Puskas as I'd never heard of him.

    I'm with you on Arca although I'm not sure if he's classed as retired or not, he's retired from professional football at least I think he actually pays to play like the rest of us.

    I'm tempted to say Roy Keane for the non SAFC player. We could build a team around him.

    Well he must be in his 60s at least if he remember Puskas.

    I don't remember him. I just love reading about the history of the game. Maybe its a bit of a geeky hobby but it fascinates me. Currently reading a book about the history of football in Argentina- I love it. I'd genuinely love to have seen Puskas play but I just said him to mess with you Bri after your comment about ages. No where near my 60s.

    Well there can't be a great amount of footage to pick him out as a choice.
