Re: Dylan Levitt

Yeah, definitely. Ability is only about 60% of it. Attitude, discipline and a strong mindset are just as important as vision, a good touch etc. Then there are the players who just didn't seem that bothered. Jason Bowen was one in my opinion. Not because he had a poor attitude, just so laid back and chilled, never phased by anything really. He could play, shock of my ****ing life coming up against him.

There was a lad from Newport as well, Lee Powell. Went to Southampton and played a handful of premier league games. He was another one. Just went with it. Tonnes of natural ability, athletic etc.

I think a lot of people don't realise just how good you have to be to make it as a professional footballer, even at the lower levels of the game. I went to school with someone who was in the Cardiff City academy from the age of seven. He scored loads of goals playing as a striker in schools football and youth football, but the club didn't offer him a contract when he turned eighteen. Then he signed with a conference team for a year where he made a couple of appearances as a fullback and after that he dropped further down the non-league pyramid before playing for a few seasons in the Welsh Premier League. He was out of the game completely by the time he was in his mid twenties.

Schools football used to be rubbish, no training or coaching, you just turned up for matches. I was lucky enough to have had regular coaching from the age of 13 onwards with ex-pro/internationals. It really makes a difference when you are taught the basics properly. I can only imagine how good the youngsters are today who start at aged 6 in the Premier League academies.

tbf that school needed that level of coaching to keep all the rugby and cricket internationals, formula 1 racing driver, someone who played tennis at Wimbledon and an Olympic swimmer, all of whom became close friends with Gluey, stimulated.

Still he says he is sane so who are we to argue!

I can imagine how incredible it might sound to somebody who grew up in Abertridwr, but everything is achievable in the real world if you can get yourself into the right places at the right time.

Re: Dylan Levitt

Can anyone on here remember a young Scottish lad we took on trial yrs ago called Jamie McCunnie? It was at the time we had a pre season tour of Jockland. We played Hamilton Accies, Kilmarnock and Falkirk. I went up for it.He was a midfielder, but for some reason Dave Jones played him at right back in the Kilmarnock game. Imo, he had a really decent game, but Jones didn’t go for him. Never heard much about him after that, so we probably made the right decision.
He’s player/manager now for a Scottish junior team.

And yet you chucked it all in to become a full time messageboarder.

Some Falkirk pubs refused entry to us, I don’t know what they were anticipating. Glen Loovens booed by Falkirk fans, who thought that he was signing for them.
