"cos he's old and useless... hence Ilford.

 

Awesome in his prime may i add though, but when he left, it was the right time"

 

...was the player he was talking about any relation to the fantastic striker we had yesterday ?

 

Humble pie anybody ?

A bit from me aswell-not as blunt as John, but thought he had seen better days-even in his last margate days 3 seasons ago, but yes he was very good yesterday and hope he can play another 50 games this season in the same fashion

[JohnKirby]

Thanks for calling me Mr Kirby.

 

He played really well yesterday, the crowd took to him, I was egging Bill to get the first goal back at hartsdown park, but settled for Leon getting it!

 

One game doesn't prove me wrong though, its just one game of around 50 we'll be playing this season.

 

Shame Rocky has left us, but I guess when the fans are against you...

Leon is twice the player Rocky will ever be! Great to see a striker hungry to get the ball and run his socks off for the team, oh - and find the back of the net too!

[zhukov]

Leon had an excellent game on Saturday and I hope he can maintain this standard.

Rocky played every game last season and scored the winning goal in the Kent Senior Cup final.

He has also played in the Football League.

Leon played for Exeter in the Football League and scored the winning goal at Boston in the Conference as well as lots of other important goals. Scientific analysis of Saturday's game showed that Leon covered more ground in one game than Rocky did in the whole of last season. He also had a shot when he got the chance to and didn't hog the ball selfishly and then waste it.

you just can't accept that people have different views of him can you! If you really want to break it down check

get your calculator out and see who had the best goals to games ratio...

 

See, you can put a decent spin on whatever you want to can't you.

 

Still much praise for Jeff Trice's Site, wish I could have reminders on up coming birthdays!!! I could have sent Moses a card, anyone know where he's gone

[zhukov]

Is it an impossibility that you cannot accept that both Leon and Rocky are very good players?

[Paul H]

Sorry guys.

Rocky was bloody lazy. He frustrated the hell out of me. Its good to see leon back and i think his work rate is awsome. Money-wise, for what rocky was getting paid, the end result was crap. I dont know what leon's being paid but he's worth every penny!

[michael]

It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to know what Rocky was paid, but not any of the other players.

 

Strange that
