After doing a little bit more digging, I'm am temporarily resuscitating this segment which first came to light (so far as I know) on the official site in 2001, and then became a short lived segment here during 2009. It's nice to add this and the ones that will follow to both the 'Fanatic of the Week' collection, but also the 'What South Means to Me' collection.

A few notes on comments.
We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.
Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.

Followed up by the 'Where are they now' segment?
ReplyDeleteThat's in the hands of others.
DeleteI suppose the lucky ones are those whose names are listed but where the Wayback Machine's links aren't working.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Manuel is nowhere to be seen these days, which makes the post a bit rich...
