I went to that too but I seem to remember we always ended up with a pretty shit team. All our decent ex-players were playing for someone else whereas we had players I couldn't even remember playing for us.
Soccer Six- was always on just before Xmas and I used to love it and you’re right, it was all the first team, which rightly or wrongly would never happen today in case of injuries etc. Forest always used to to well from memory.
