I will check that in future , thank you.

Fully agree SO. Mansson was the best. I always remember a game up at Keighley i think we beat them about 50odd - 6 and there was a group of blokes stood near us. One of them said " Whos that number 6 for you" and I said with great pride "Thats Paul Mansson" .He completely ran the show that day.A masterclass, head and shoulders above everyone on the field.

I was there that day too.
Happy days.

Way of the mark with Mansson being the best.

Tony Kemp was streets in front of him I M O.

Kevin Jones was a decent stand off

Eric Horsman
Derek Woodfield
Vince Hattee
Gary Brook
Trevor Denton
All had excellent games for the Dons in the No 6 shirt

And we shouldn't forget former GB international Derek Edwards

Got to agree, i've not seen any other 6 in a Dons shirt better than Kempy when he first played for us.

Not only the best 6 but at such a young age. Seventeen was it, when he came to us?

Kemp and Mansson were different kinds of players, so it's just a matter of personal choice.
Kemp was brilliant when he was young, but not when he got to be the age that Mansson's played for us.
He had become podgy and slow, Mansson always looked an athlete.
Mansson would have blinded him by then.

Besides, this is not a 'who do you think was Donny's best stand-off?' thread, it's the pointing out that once we had kiwi (mainly) class and now we don't.
Once we had an exciting breed of player and now we have competent,but in comparison, rather unexciting players.
Things need to change.
Did we really have more money back then?

Even the Gt Britain team struggle to find a decent english number 6

Indeed.

My thread has been hijacked by all our yesterdays.

Paul I would hazard a guess that you didn't start supporting the Dons until around 1984-85

No I did go before that date but not on a regular basis.

Was you there when they used to announce the crowd changes to the teams ?

I did attend some of those games.
