Which Swan would you choose as your avatar?

[cadleigh]

I’m four posts away from my 500th, which I THINK is when I graduate to being a named player rather than a First Team Player. This got me thinking - who would I want as my ‘avatar’ (not sure if that’s the correct term - sorry!) - and who would other posters choose to be if they could?

Tony Millington was my first Swans idol because he came to my primary school and because his clowning around was engaging to me at that age.

Michu, obviously (but he’s gone - I assume each player only gets allocated once?).

Robbie James, Curt, Dyer, Routledge, Bodde would all be on the list. Freestone and Walker.

Who would you go for?

I’ll probably get Julian Alsop…

 

[cadleigh]

I wouldn’t complain about De Vries or Fabiansky either. Please God not Dai the Drop though. I am sure he was unfairly maligned at the time but I don’t think I will ever shake the idea that we would have stayed up bar for him

 

[cadleigh]

And Tatey and Britton, of course. Surely they are taken?

 

[cadleigh]

Oh well, time for the big reveal…

 

[Cooperman]

I think you’re going to get Alan Waddle.

 

[cadleigh]

Alan Waddle? F@ck me I couldn’t be happier with that! Thank you, Mr Algorithm, you have made me a very happy Jack tonight!

I think you’re going to get Alan Waddle.

OMG how did you know?

OMG how did you know?

Just a wild guess

Thanks Roger. You must have done well in a past life too

I shall come clean. Phil set it up so that you grow in stature the more you post. When you reach Roger you know you’ve made it.

I never paid attention to who I got

 

[cadleigh]

Jesus Christ there are TWO Roger Freestones? But the chant said there was only one…

So if I keep posting I can become more virtuous than Alan Waddle? To be fair that makes no sense because otherwise we’d all start out as Itay Shecter

Or Jerry Yates
