... he started when he was 12.

Aaaaw, that's cute, you really have a man crush on me but really you need to put your widdle away as it's a bit creepy now
Even Ebenezer Howard wouldn't let you and your type into the Garden City

Nowt wrong with a man crush.
I would go tongues with our Captain if he manages to get his hands on the CC again, and you may even admit you got things badly badly wrong.

Ellis must be about the only modern player to be held in the highest regard by fans of four teams who he played for. For a guy who at one stage looked like being one of those too slow for centre/too small for a second row types, he's done pretty well...

I remember when he signed for us a Wests fan post absolutely eulogising about him, but even with all the plaudits before he arrived few FC fans could have believed what he together with Radford would achieve in terms of transforming the leadership of the playing side of things. He often says he wasn't the most talented player but what defines him is his refusal to give less than 100% whether at training or on game day. No better role model, I hope his legacy lives long at our club.

Got to admit, when he got injured in the warm up in his debut for us against Leeds I thought we'd signed another over the hill sicknote. I obviously couldn't have been any more wrong. What a player, what a man.

I really hope we can win a trophy for the guy this year, no-one deserves it more. I once met him and he thanked me for being an FC fan.

Going to be a big loss on the field but I am sure he will be even bigger for the club off it.
