Player wise I'd for for Matt Le Tissier who could have gone so much further if he hadn't been excrement scared of leaving Southampton.

I know they have  said similar things here in the UK with the large Indian population yet hardly any pros which is probably a cultural thing eg they play mainly cricket .

Don't agree about Sunderland or Newcastle. They are in the Prem after all. Birmingham City should be in the top tier as should Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and/or United. Possibly Coventry and Bristol City should have the clout to do it as well if properly managed. “I think I'm goin' back To the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth."
