Yeah no probs, 'bulk up' was the wrong phrase, as that implies adding unnecessary, well, bulk. He can add strength and toughness, toughen the ligaments etc without too much added mass with the right strength and conditioning over time, which I'm sure as a pro footballer he gets. Explosive power not show muscle.

I didn't fill out properly till late 20's and he reminds me of a similar late sprouter. Well done to the club for sticking with him for years when in most past instances he would have been chucked on the scrap heap for not filling out enough for the mens game quickly enough. How many supremely talented late bloomers have fallen by the wayside over the years throughout English football where physicality is paramount? Far too many I'm sure.

I started filling out in my mid 20s too, unfortunately I didn't stop and now at 50 I'm a fat b@stardπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Yeah, late 30's here and coming to realise that if you let yourself go just gets harder and harder to shift it again. Always been an uphill and mostly losing battle 😩

I've got to the stage where if I fell over I'd rock myself to sleep  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: β€œWhose is it?”

Don't bother ironing. Just keep the clothes that used to fit me and put them on slightly damp. All the wrinkles soon go.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
