Maybe you mean the team of the 21st century.

What a star-studded line-up that would be, with such all-time greats as Buckley, Fraser, Lonie, Davis, Tarrant.

I thought Buckley missed out on the Team of the Century. At that stage he was only in his 4th season at The Club and his best football has been played since then.

Of course, I could be wrong. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

Hmmm. I get the impression Buckley was named in the Team of the Century after all.

Thanks for that, everyone.

Geez, my memory is bad!!!

Rowdy26 is spot on. There was a lot of commotion about Bucks making it and Brown not. The belief was Bucks was pout in there based on potential, not just performance, and that he had taken Rowdy's spot.

An argument from another time and place, not really worht resurrecting.
