I read that earlier. Good read if a little never ending I hope more is being done now to scoop up and help the many who don’t make it.

Enjoyed that. A really good read. Nice to see Nobby get a mention. I recall him being involved with the Sunday league team whilst with us.

I’m sure I’ve read about trials being held with released players, but wasn’t sure how much support is offered to young players dropping out of the game at very young ages. Howard Gayle seems to be doing a good job for one!

I played in the FA cup once (I may have mentioned it?) and then was just dropped like a stone. No support at all!

That explains a lot!

You mentioned playing in the FA Cup about as many times as I mentioned being at Anfield on 26th May 1989.

Aye, my career was just strewn with alcohol, fast cars and gambling after our victory in the Cub's 5-a-side...
