The Championship Clubs Podcast produced a brilliant episode this weekend, choosing the All-Time Championship Legends Team to celebrate the end of the Championship in its current form, before it becomes The Champ.
1. Robin Hislop 2. Alun Walker 3. Colin Quigley 4. Matt Challinor 5. Barney Maddison 6. Paul Tupai 7. Carl Kirwan 8. Mark Bright 9. Craig Hampson 10. Jake Sharp 11. Dean Adamson 12. JP Socino 13 Michael Le Bourgeois 14. David Williams 15. Rich Lane Definitely worth a listen. |

It was a good listen. Unless I missed it I'm surprised James Pritchard wasn't discussed for Full Back, long championship career across a few different clubs and must be up there as one of the top points scorers.

I haven't listened yet, but Pritchard and Dave Jackson of Nottingham were two full-backs who I really enjoyed watching

Just finished listening. Pritchard got quite a good write-up at full-back but was dismissed as a lot of his career was pre-Championship. Jackson was mentioned as a winger. About half a dozen names who were shortlisted actually played in Regional One South Central last season, mainly for Jersey but also Tommy Bell (LW) and David McIlwaine (Brighton Blues)

I think there was a bit of recency bias with a lot of the selections influenced by who Charlie Beckett played with/against. It was just for players who played after the Championship rebrand so doesn’t include their time when it was called Nat 1, but I’m pretty sure Pritchard is still the Championship’s leading all time points scorer so I’d still have him over Lane. Rob Cook of Pirates didn’t even get a mention and he’d be the main rival for the 15 shirt for me.

If you are looking for a points scorer you go for Pritchard but anything else Lane is your choice. The one pick that suprised me was Jake Sharp at FH think there have a few better than him. But overall some great players mentioned who were outside the 23
