not saying i agree with you, but as i was reading it i wondered when i'd magically moved onto the briers thread on the goons/skints board.

Defo heart goes out to the guy,As a player I hate him for obvious reasons but as a bloke think he desrves the respect that a man who has won almost everything you can win and for that I send him my best wishes

I have lots of sympathy for him. Never nice to see anyone have a serious injury - don't care who they are (albeit I could make an exception for Pryce

).
Read bits of his book and as has been said above 'daft northern lad' springs to mind.

Don't like him froim the point of view of what he's done to us, and could have undoubtedly been a bigger star but it depends on your half full / half empty point of view.

Nobody should have the decision to end their career taken from them.

Well said mate and by the way Longy is a legend.
