Red Flag 84 Posted December 31, 2012 Doubt anyone will be looking too hard so 4 hours early, here are my teams: I Shall Need To Get The Black Out Nelson Mandela Michael Winner Stephen Lewis Clive James Liz Dawn Jimmy Greaves Reg Presley Roger Ebert Henry Cecil Barry Elliott Sandy Jardine Bruno Metsu Hugo Chavez Mark "Chopper" Read Bernie Nolan Stefano Borgonovo (JOKER) Steven Adler Bashar al-Assad Joost van der Westhuizen Ryan Buell I went with Nolan, Buell and Read despite not being fully convinced they're about to cark it, as the pay-off could be useful. Also hoping Assad gets Gaddafi'd and Adler continues his path to self-destruction - continuing the Celeb Rehab theme, Leif Garrett is one of my subs but unless Chavez and Mandela both go tonight, he won't come into play. Stephen Hawking is my first reserve and I'm a tad disappointed I couldn't fit him in. Dropped Jaruzelski, Thatcher, Mugabe and the Pope because they're not worth much even if they do go, and Ali, Dickson Wright, Franklin and Pratchett because they're unlikely to go soon Red-Flagged (motorsport theme team) Robert Manzon Jose Froilan Gonzalez Geoff Duke Murray Walker Ron Tauranac Jack Brabham Maria Teresa de Filippis Erik Carlsson James Garner Stirling Moss Guy Ligier Bernie Ecclestone Dan Gurney Tony Brooks John Surtees (JOKER) Mauro Forghieri AJ Foyt Jean-Pierre Beltoise Frank Williams Julian Bailey This is a complete stab in the dark team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert Trautmann 58 Posted December 31, 2012 Took a punt on al-Assad at the last minute, I was too tempted by the potential 13 points! Decided against Jardine and Metsu in the end, I think I may come to regret excluding Jardine but the fact they operated on him suggests they've caught his cancer early.

Octopus of Odstock 2,196 Posted December 31, 2012 As a big treat for you all, here's my 2013 theme team. They're called The 1922 Committee. Can you guess the theme? Joker (Pick 1): Anker Jørgensen I dropped Joergensen for this year, so he may end up being an unique hit. I did debate - briefly - picking a team of 90 somethings, due to me dropping the likes of Jaruzelski, Misch, Mandela, Dole, Reagan, Joergensen, Whitlam et al but I felt it was going against the ethos of what the theme team idea is all about.

Octopus of Odstock 2,196 Posted December 31, 2012 I can assure you that Anker Joergensen is by no means a unique hit. Indeed he's become a bit of cult pick for 2013... Well, I like to lead the way. He's a good pick, he's frail, in a nursing home and on the way out before too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
