Quote Wildthing="Wildthing"He was a good servant to the club and still talks very highly about the club and its supporters, not many ex players
do to be fair. I totally understand it.'"
i never get the phrase "servant". he was well rewarded for the service he gave, and if he wasn't that's because his market rate didn't warrant it. i liked him as a player, and he seems like a nice bloke, but as others have said the pedestal he has been put on is bizarre.
i wish him well, and perhaps one day he'll be back at belle vue (or newmarket), but he's not neil fox, or even johnny thompson in my book.
