Simple Match Fishing Forum

Imagine the scenario; there is an international match on a narrow canal. The venue is your usual mix of canal fish plus of course big fish too. The match is in August with no bloodworm and joker allowed.
Going back in time as long as you need what would be your England team, that is five anglers and a manager.
The anglers/managers don't have to be alive.

The purpose of this is for interest and I am keen to hear all your views come whatever.

Give it a go

What not one mention about Derek Young,he still holds about 3 canal records.SHAME on you lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you sit and think about it you could pick any 5 from about 20, different areas and generations also come into it, i'm suprised bill didn't pick st peter as i'm sure they were in the same team

kim milsom
peter vasey
derek young ALL LEGENDS
polly
gary miller

coach peter clapperton.

Derek Who???


Mentioning Bill Yards and Young in the same thread would surely be an oxymoron anyway

At the end of the day this is all opinion and nowt else; interesting to hear you views though. Must admit I have a few reservations about the Rentmen selection!!!
Derek Young, - class act but we can only pick five.
I opted for Pete Hargreaves, Ok Derek Young may well have set three canal records but what didn't Pete Hargreaves win that he entered?
Keep 'em coming in, where's yours Chris V?

some very good Trentmen anglers and they would be difficult to beat...

Why would you include Jason Scrivener over the likes of Steve Wollard, Sam Perkins, Rob Perkins, lee Richmond..etc etc..

I've seen Jason fish a few times and without his record of drawing flyers he is one of the poorer Trentmen...i'd have Mad Dog Madeley in front of Jason.

thats the sleeping order when they go away in or it could be the drinks round i've never seen lee wright at the bar

mindyou mad dog would take the individual title for that


i told you lee they were all inbreds
