Mckay is scared of his own shadow. Gehrig was a absolute brute who if you got in his way when on the lead he would send you into the 4th row.

Our man hasnt got an aggressive bone in his body.
I think you mistake the late career Gehrig with the early career wingman.

Early Gehrig was more like Acres, later he was closer to Plugger.

Would Gehrig have developed the way he did without the time on the wing?

Fraser Gehrig
For a bloke his size, Gehrig had chicken legs.

I've said more than once McKay would be a great modern Gehrig, I've never understood why more club's don't turn mobile talls into wingmen before they become fulltime KPFs.
Are you joking?

An illegal knackery was processing horse meat for dog food and primarily the greyhound industry.
The inference was that butchering horses is illegal, but of course that's not the case.

You need a proper license to operate a knackery, and horse owners call them doggers because that is what is in the can!

Part of the law is designed to stop people keeping unwell animals, if a horse is unwell or too weak doggers can't take them, this actually encourages owners to act before animals suffer. And licensed doggers know what they are doing.

Im glad everyone else said it, I cant be accused of Greek bias.  Kouta holds a very special place in my heart, but Cripps could conceivably go past him if he wont 2 flags as captain.... :D
Dont forget he's half Italian.

I was at school in 1995 and an Egyptian kid was trying to claim him.
