Why are some so obsessed with the age of a player?
Nowt to do with chronological age is it?
It’s to do with a mental strength that only comes with playing games at this level.
I don’t have to remind you of the “legend” status Cliff Byrne & Andy Butler built up in their first spell with the club. However when they played together 2003/04 we almost went out of the football league. Crosby came in and the rest is history.
Sure Pele won the World Cup at seventeen but he hadn’t just played a handful of games for Havant & Waterlooville!
