Hi All,
I think the flying wedge was banned because all the players in front of the ball and ball carryer were off-side. Or did they change the off-side rule in order to ban the wedge? I can't remember.
I had someone in one of my classes ask me about the use of the wedge by the Spartans at Thermopylae - ahh the movies ... Best not to put that in an exam answer I replied! Herodotus Richard Eagan is not! :lol:
Cheers

PS OT - Tony, it appears we have the same (unusual) surname. Mine is of Danish/Dutch extraction what about yours - There aren't many of us Dahms down under so to speak.
