Maccarone 264 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Where do you get all the info and picture's from Erimus? amazing stuff you should write a book on the history of MFC, I would but it for sure. I find this really interesting, I like to find out about the history of our club, your posts are superb. I have a book at home that tells the stories of some former players, starts with the keepers, defense, midfield and then strikers, it's a good read. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
