Good riddance to the pair of the little jumped up VVankers,they made their own bed. LOYALTY is everything,in every walk of life Did they?

Suspect that he looked to his father for advice and took it. Unfortunately whilst as a player DEH had a few great years for us, it was over all too quickly because he got unlucky with injuries and didn't look after himself. Taking advice from a man who blew his own career was not the best move, and DEH's own motivations got in the way of what little judgement he had when advising his son. Alan Shearer showed how to do it and his injuries were also bad. The main reason for David Hirst's stalled career sadly was David Hirst and now he's stalled his own son's career. Whether or not it can be restarted is questionable. For that reason I have sympathy for George, a young lad who relied on the one he probably looked up to the most for advice and was badly let down.

And the moral of this tale is to never work with close relatives. When you get fired, you've still got to sit around the table together at Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBee Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 We still allowed to mention him? Captained the England u20s in the Toulan tournament last night and scored 2. Was a pretty strong squad, a lot of top 6 side youngsters, but they lost all 3 group games and this was a meaningless placement game. I'm not sure he even played in the other 3 games. I wonder if any championship sides will bring him back to England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I would have liked him to have made it here Simply so we could sing the Baby Bird song to him 4 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hard for youngsters to break through to be fair. You need the support of senior pro's around you, to help you progress. But at the same time, money is too high stakes that senior pro's are too protective of their squad postitons. Loans are probably the best way to prove yourself...and if you refuse to go on loan, then a career in obscurity probably awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The next time we'll see him at Hillsborough will be in about 6 years time and he'll be coming off the bench for some lower league side in a third round FA Cup tie. When his name gets announced there'll be a few people who'll reminisce about how good his dad was and a few more talking about how George had potential but never realised it. The fact is he's lost 2 years of his career at such an important time, the first due to his wage demands at Hillsborough and the second in the pub league in Belgium where he has had a very poor goal return. The lesson here? Just because somebody's dad is good at football, it doesn't mean he's going to be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
