gstone,

Thanks for the accolades! I’m glad you enjoyed the piece, and that’s a very thorough list you’ve compiled. No doubt talent has been intertwined between these two clubs, and it’s interesting to take a look back and see just when in their careers these respective players played for the clubs.

Keep reading and this might be a subject that needs to be revisited in the near future,

Devin
