Hi guys, I'm new on here, though a long time reader, and a die-hard Mariner since 1988. Anyway, some of you may have seen on socials that I'm the club specific Town writer for Football League World. I've made an account so I can share my work on here moving forward. Hopefully, you enjoy the varied coverage and opinions. Happy to debate and chat about all topics.

Here's my latest article, published today........

noticeable lack of pace and physicality throughout


This line stuck out to me. It's well known I've never been much of a Hurst fan, but one thing I really never got on board with while he was here was when he described a player, especially when he described them as fast, big, and strong. What hurts called fast was usually bang average pace same for big and strong, his big was similar to Buckley anyone over 5ft 8 was considered big and if they could open a jar of pickles they passed his strength test.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Our last genuinely pacy player was probably Michael Reddy - although saying that I have probably forgotten an obvious one or two. Obikwu came described by Cov fans as pacy but we haven’t seen that imo. I would say watching football higher up the divisions the thing that most strikes you is how quick the players are physically as well as in thought. I think that’s just how L2 and the Conf are.

Kiernan?

I think we should've offered him something.
