Great team that wg....... ide have ella and greg in the halves with john ferguson replacing offiah....... job done
Well I tried to pick a team that could mix it with the current size/speed/fitness of players. I honestly think they could (whereas I think Greg would be exploited in todays game). He would be straight in my "favourites" team though.

Mark Preston (2) should be thereabouts, purely on outright pace. Perhaps the quickest I've seen.
Like Offiah, vastly improved his "D" with experience over time.

I toyed with Preston at 2, but Henley-Smith was faster.

Personally on the field of play i reckon preston is the fastest winger ive ever seen..... his acceleration was second to none
