Pocketed a fair wage from Brentford in his day.

This was my first full season of watching the Bees and as a ten year old the players where all gods to me !! Remember seeing him play those games at the back end of the season and how enthusiastic he was.
Shame his career never took of but glad to here hes still a BEE

Grew up around the same time as Richard and Kevin, they were a couple of years older than me, both nice lads. I remember Kevin spending hour upon hour on his own at our local park practising long kicks which I was in awe of as I would have needed a taxi to get that far!!! I always thought if Kevin can play for Brentford then so could I, alas as some of the GPGers will tell you I actually wasn't good enough.
Good read, thank you
