Quote: TrinityHeritage "As regards Mark Graham, he was one of the toughest, skilful and dedicated forwards to play for Trinity. He certainly didn't come here for a holiday and played every game at 100%, more often than not, injured. His body was battered and played with a brace on his shoulder due to previous injuries.
Brent Todd was signed on the back of Ian Roberts failed signing (he broke his foot). Trinity wanted a barn-storming prop to replace him; unfortunately Todd was a skilful ball handling prop and not the same type of replacement required. Toppo wanted him to break tackles but that wasn't his style.
Todd left just before Xmas by 'mutual consent' but Graham didn't like the way it was done so decided to go too. Graham also wanted to assist with coaching but Toppo wouldn't let him so Graham got rather frustrated near the end, but stil always giving 100%. There are additional political reasons for leaving (money etc) but they were the 'on field reasons''"
Correct, would also like to point out that Ted (and i know you didn't say it) was not Chairman of Trinity at the time or even on the BOD.The club at this time was run by Rodney Walker and Stuart Farrell both appointed by WMDC who effectively owned the club at this point. So any stories Ted may or may not have said regarding this issue were strictly second hand and no more reliable in this case than anyone elses. HTH.
