I Agree that Colin Remouf was on e of the best if not THE best local player we have produced. Good to see both the U21's and GFC win yesterday. Laurie

Colin Renouf could have been a huge star in professional football. You are also right that those other payers would have soon adapted to the modern game. They played the game in the way that the game was able to be payed at that time, but great players will always adapt their game. Laurie

THE PLAYERS YOU MENTION WERE NOT JUST KICKING MACHJNES,THEY WERE GOOD FOOTBALLERS, AND YOU DONT MENTION THE BEST PLAYER I HAVE SEEN PLAYING IN GSY COLOURS, Colin Renouf. but i do agree in todays game of non contact football they would have had to adapt, but they were good enough to do that JOHNO.

On the pitch for his commitment rather than ability. A lesson to young players that whilst you may not be naturally the best working hard can make up for it especially at this level.

Nothing was rushed, read the game superbly and nothing seemed to much of an effort. Always seemed to be in the right place at the right time along with very good decision making.

Probably a problem not just just in football but generally maybe that the younger generation don't communicate as well? Blimey just realised I'm getting a bit deep boys, sorry.

Cockers is this group's leader and IMO probably the best leader I've ever worked/played with which is saying something given his relatively young age. There's still more to come from him as well but his character, influence and presence are immense. Not sure of the reasons why but players influence the game in different ways these days with the odd exception and Gus is probably a good example - he speaks more sense than I used to on the pitch but just does it quietly! Hope to see you in May Mr Carre! Not going to go into my thinking on this too much but all I will say is there are less “talkers” per square metre than there used to be!
