Stewart Piper's best Dons XIII

Next up in our Dons best XIII series, club president Stewart Piper names the best players he played alongside.

Stewart is the fourth person to take part in this following Carl Hall, Audley Pennant, and Tony Miller.

During lockdown, Stewart has been throwing himself into the Foundation’s Home Goals project (a project which provide social events, fitness classes, and well-being sessions right to your home) – and you can see photo of his efforts above. To find out more about Home Goals click here.

Stewart’s team is made of the best players he played with, some of whom are sadly no longer with us.
