    England Legends beat Wales Legends at Derby last night, it was a decent game and some of the legends looked like they could still do a job in the lower leagues.
    People of note:

    Gary Speed - Played well and looks fit and able.
    Seth Johnson - Remember him, well he played (which is more than he did for us) and he scored a beauty.

    Didn't notice anyone else with a Leeds connection, but I was only watching on and off and the subs were coming on fast.

    Edit: The lad Mark Wright from The Only Way is Essex, looks like he can play football and was a left back with the Spurs youth team, he scored a cracking goal and has a nice touch and control about him.

    Love the legends game, gutted I didnt know it was on :(

    Did you see the Yorkshire masters or the grand final of the masters? Darren Huckerby was the stand out player banging them in for us, even got a hat trick against the scum! Looked really suited to the format, still had a turn of pace & a wicked shot <ok>

    I watched all the masters games and Huckerby was the stand out player, looks very fit and very able. We did really well and were beaten by a really good Rangers team, who will no doubt go on and win the European Masters.

    Agreed mate <ok>

    Love the masters football. Played on a pitch like they use down in Bournemouth, kicks the crap out of 5 a side!

    Owen Coyle was very good as well!

    Owen Coyle was never the greatest footballer in the world, but he was and still is very very fit and has great agility. As far as I know, he's never smoked and never drank alcohol in his life and still runs marathons and plays as much football as he can, this must make an impact with the players on the training pitch.

    Certainly looks that when ever you see his teams in training. I think he keeps things fun & leads by example as well.

    Tony Pullis is another fit and always physically involved with his players at training, I reckon both these clubs have great harmony in the dressing room and a togetherness, which works on the field.
