Guest User	Just wondering who people think should be the Captain of GTFC.  IF Macca is still playing for us, then my opinion is the Captaincy should be taken from him, and a new Captain be selected.  I don't know if we have any real leaders in our squad, but maybe a new signing may show Leadership values, or does anyone think we have a Leader in our present squad?

A captain needs to be able influence all over the pitch, including the referee. I really can’t see how a goalkeeper, or to a lesser extent a striker, can do that.   UTM

His abilities as a player should be "reliable" and he needs to be very verbal - shouting instructions consecutively on the pitch. He should be someone that motivates players when they are down, but also someone that should instill a little bit of fear in players not doing their jobs properly. Now - who fits that description?

He has lots of experience on the field, tries to lead by example anyway (which is difficult with the other dross we currently have), and has the where-for-all to tell others how and what to do through his own Football Academy that he runs. Its a no-brainer (again like most of the other dross we currently have)
