GEORGE Slynn's suggested team picked from post-war Rovers' sides (LET Sports Letters, Tuesday, August 10) would indeed have taken some beating.
It had all the hallmark of a brilliant team and I just couldn't fault it having seen the players myself.
I notice three players of the present era are included - Shearer, Sutton, and as sub Gallacher.
It would also be very interesting to know how the present Blackburn team would fare against an exiled side - ie Flowers, Berg, Le Saux, Batty, Hendry, Sherwood, Sellars, Sutton, Shearer, Slater, Bohinen. Subs: Dahlin, Andersson, Donis and Pearce.
It makes you wonder.
