You're Top Poster: #1  | RIP Benny. Steven Darlow has done a magnificent job of keeping his memory alive in Five of the Many, as well as for the other four veterans covered - Rupert Cooling, Joe Petrie-Andrews, Tony Iveson and Harry Hughes. Long may they be with us.

You're Top Poster: #2 | I know I wish I had more time for interviews. Interviewees mention their mates who would be worth talking to but trying to find the time to do such a valuable thing is a juggle.

You're Top Poster: #3 | If only you had been that $15million winner, you would have plenty of time.
