Fired from the artillery.

Morgs and Whitehurst for obvious reasons.

Kozzy for trench morale.

Hammond to avoid the enemy unseen.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Dave Bassett to launch those grenades long, hard and high
Paul Woolhouse to teach me the art of going permanently AWOL
Harry Maguire so his massive head would draw the enemy fire
George Baldrick for his cunning plans
Dean Hammond for his unseen spying sorties into no man's land

I'm reminded of Andy Zaltzman's joke.

"They say John Terry is the sort of person you want alongside you in the trenches. That's because as a soldier in the trenches there's a very high probability he'll get shot."

 

[Sean Thornton]

Personally I’d prefer to be in the trenches with some well trained and well armed professional soldiers, not footballers.
