KFC was like it or not one of the best hookers GB has produced, Roby was still learning a lot but has gone on to make a name as one of the best.

KC may have been one of the best GB has produced but his international record was`nt great,he liked to be a big fish in a small pond.he very often ducked international series citing injury but was right as rain for saints.
Apart from when he was playing for GB against the Kiwi's and had had a really good season. He was fit and playing some brilliant rugby, then he dislocated and broke his elbow. I don't think he was ever quite as good after that.

As much as I love MM and think he is getting better and better, I am sorry but I would swap him in a heartbeat.
You have to allow for the fact that if he didn't play for Stains, his forward passes, i.e. 90% of his passes, would be pulled up, so he wouldn't look nearly as good then.
