If Neville Cardus were selecting this side, Archie Maclaren would be the first name on the team-sheet. No other player in the modern history of the game has been served so well by a single writer. The legend of Maclaren is a legend of Cardus's creation. And if the facts don't quite fit the legend there's no shame in that. Everyman has his hero to whom all is granted and everything forgiven.
