Fair play to him, would be all too easy to fall into a pit of bitterness and blame everyone else, hope he does manage to rediscover the form he once had and get back to a higher level.

Seems fair enough article.

Wish the boy no ill will

There was an interview with Phil McGuire in one of the papers yesterday saying how much he was enjoying playing for Formartine. His star (not a very bright one) is well on the way down, but there's still time for Bagshaw to get back up the leagues. Good luck to him.

Good luck to the boy, nice lad, stays just down the road from me.

 

No doubt if he'd made it at Aberdeen he'd have followed in the footsteps of other Dons supporting Dons greats, like um....Mackie, Foster & Duff

Good luck to him.

Good luck to him but he's got a cracking PR rep. Can't honestly say I'm that bothered about someone who had a chance and then wasn't good enough, but he gets his name out there a fair bit.

 

The bigger issue is those who were good enough but gave up sport because in this country the infrastructure and percentage chance of making a good living from it aren't worth the risk. 9 people out of 10 with a brain cell to rub together won't waste their time with sport considering that unless you're a footballer and guaranteed 1st team place in 6 or 7 clubs maximum, you have no chance of a better living than doing most anything else. All we're left with are generally thick as mince and/or too dysfunctional as human beings to do anything else.
