Quote ="fc baldy"Agree about him not living up to his reputation but playing injured,out of position and with a bunch of deadbeats as well hasnt helped him either....we have a hughe nasty pack next season which will help him and i also believe he is suffering from following Swain who was a truly superb player for us...if he hadnt followed him and his high standard...i doubt this thread would be here.'"
Fair comment and a good post, but would Swain have had anymore of an impact in the side of the past 2 seasons than Berrigan?
Swain was class, and 1 of my all time favorite FC players, but he was surrounded by a far better crop of players than what Berro has had around him, up until now.
I don't want to compare who is/was better between Swain and Berro, because they have different styles and one played for the club in our most successful period for 20+ years, and the other whilst the club was at it’s lowest ebb over a similar period. What I can compare though is effort, commitment and dedication to the cause and imo Berrigan is not too far behind Swain in either of those categories.
