alot of players would of been told they are too small to play football.

its how you respond to that which makes you into a footballer...

writing a 'Blog' about it isn't helping, but getting you're head down and getting recognized is the best solution and prove that person wrong

School of hard knocks I know and it's never pleasant to be written off as such when not much you can do about your height ( I was in that place once....15 and only 5'1"!!) but if you're good enough, you can make it still

Maybe Dave Boylen ( or if he were still around the club Dave Gilbert ) could give this lad a bit of advice...they didn't do so badly

Josh Venney?
Dave Gilbert?
Gary Childs?
Paul Hurst?!

If you're good enough, you're big enough.

Just sounds disappointed and wants somebody to blame. Not sure there's much of a story there.

GTFC should be ashamed.


Because we released a player who is currently representing Cleethorpes Town reserves? If he was going to make it professionally, he'd be playing in their first team at least. Like others have said, if you're good enough you're big enough and it just looks like this lad is looking for something to blame.

Should Town retain all the young kids who are too small/too fat/too slow?

Maybe they all come under the same umbrella, the one marked 'don't see them as ever being good enough to get in our first team'

Jamie Vardy was deemed too small by Sheff Wednesday and released. He then had to decide between  dropping down the leagues significantly and making himself known by sheer effort and commitment and working his way up the football ladder, or writing a blog about it.

I've done a lot of years in junior football and its a common trend for clubs to insist the dad goes with a child as they want to see how big they are and therefore how big the kid is likely to be.
Football in general tends to treat kids as disposable and its a pretty brutal process with so few making it. I tend to advise parents now not to go when the kids get invited to training especially at 9 or 10. If they're good enough they'll still be knocking at 12 and 13. Trouble is the parents and the kids are blinded by the potential and frightened their kid will be left behind.
The best kid I've ever seen signed for a championship side, screwed his education up and got dumped. It's a great shame but I don't see it changing much

No disrespect but he went on playing at cleethorpes town , surely if he was good enough someone else would have picked him up.
