Key Player
RIP Martin's Madness
I still vividly remember when I knew my game was literally up. We were playing Cardiff Corries at home, always a tough fixture, and we were attacking the end away from the dressing room. Yankee will know. Anyway. Herbie, whom Ivor always said should have been playing league football, slid a peach of a pass inside the last defender near the halfway line and I was on it in a flash leaving defenders trailing behind.Ivor insisted that it was impossible to give of your best if you were unfit, which is why he set such great store on fitness levels. It was the reason I finally packed it in. I'd been hanging on for a couple of years, a liability to the team truth be told, and it was becoming more and more evident by the game. My head knew exactly what to do in a given situation but my legs were incapable of carrying it out. And, far too often, I looked like a complete twat.
Some of the players have been on international duty and are still on holiday. Some others have been on loan with us and are at their respective clubs now.Any significance to which squad members were absent/present?
