That pride of playing for 'your' club is very expensive to replicate. Decidedly average players have had great careers at their boyhood clubs but in this day and age, the sad thing is that if he's average, he will probably stay but if turns out to be any good he will be off long before he gets to his best years.

That's true, it'd be difficult to turn down the money, especially given the lifespan of the career of MOST footballers, the ever present risk of a career-ending injury, and so on...

 

Still, it was nice to hear him say what he did.

Take that local, committed core and add the talent of players like TC and the experience of Mick Pickering etc.you then start to develop a team

But TC is a local lad and a massive wednesdayite so even though he didn’t come through the ranks he was blue n white through and throuh

One of Brian the Blade's favourite players. Probably because his dad used to play for him.
