My T8M's Fantasy Fantasy All-Timer Tournament team- Part 2

Image
Hello and welcome to Part 2 of the tournament draft review from my 8th Man All-Time fantasy fantasy team.  In part 1, we went through picks 1-7 and in this part, we'll have a look at picks 8-14 and why and how I decided to pick them in this All-time hypothetical fantasy tournament.  Let's get to it!

The Total Quidditch. Podcast- Episode 12: Aaron Veale

Self-Awareness, Basketball and L eading from the front- Aaron Veale In more of a personal episode for our host, we speak with Fraser's long time teammate Aaron Veale. Starting off as a plucky 5ft 7 kid rocking up to his first quidditch session at Southampton in a Portsmouth shirt, Aaron talks through his career progression including his early success winning BQC 2015 with the Anchors all the way through to his captaincy year in which he redefined himself as a short yet very capable shooting keeper that pushed the UK game in new directions.
