Thanks for all the wonderful memories Colin. Some of my favourites include the goal against stevenage on the opening day a couple of seasons ago and, again on the opening day, against woking. The fact that you are going to have your own memorial DVD with all your goals just go's to prove how much you have done for this club.
People use the word legend far too much nowadays, but for you it is truly deserved. Any aspiring footballer can look up to you as the model player, both for skill and as a player. To come down to Conference North level to play for us when you could have gone elsewhere marks you as an immensely loyal player. If you left us in the top 10 in the conference national it would be an amazing achievement, and even more wonderful if you could score the goal that put us there. And whichever team you go to now will have gained a top, top player, on and off the pitch.
Just remember there will always be room for you at Altrincham FC, pop in and have a drink sometime when you're free.
All the best in the future Col, you deserve it.
