That’s lean pickings for a striker. That frankly says it all. If his name had been Smith no one on here would care one jot. He is 22 years old no longer a kid. It’s time we all moved on and left him to whatever his career brings him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Dad I can't imagine any other Dad not being pleased that his son is financially independent, and if sensible set up for life, in his early twenties. i'd be delighted if my lad was.

On his dad's side, mostly Carling Black Label, pickled onions, adrenaline and stories about that time he had to go in goal Vs Man City with a raging hangover... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never ceases to amaze me to read posts like this. It just comes across so bitter. Borderline offensive. To a player who made just short of 300 appearances for us. Who scored over 100 goals - mostly at the very top level. Represented England while playing here and suffered the most horrendous injuries. Who never gave less than 100% effort in any game. Who gave up hours of his time completely free of charge to help young players develop in our academy long before his own son was involved. Who gave up hours of his time completely free of charge to work with the community programme and supporters groups to raise money for good causes, by attaching his good name to those causes, like Hirstys Bars. Who regularly rounded up ex-players like Sheridan and Waddle to assist with those causes as a favour to him. I remember one of the very best nights was Hirsty, Shez and Waddle all on one stage doing a Q&A to raise over £8k in one night for Andy Kalinins wife to assist her in sourcing cancer treatment abroad. And all of that incredible work over 3 decades to be ruined because of our current Chairman. The man who has taken our club so far backwards its unrecognisable at the side of what he took over from Milan. If anybody deserves a statue at our club its David Hirst. Its so sad that some fans have such short memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. He was a model professional who always treated his body like a temple and has absolutely no stories at all about playing top level professional football matches several pints deep.

Cool, I'm more interested in you getting on the pitch and scoring though as claimed. Let us know when youve signed your pro contract and who you've signed for.
