Mark Harris joins Oxford United

[Vindec]

Harris has plenty of huff and puff but sadly not much else. He reminded me very much of Derek Showers who the oldies on here may remember. However, on occasions Mark Harris did spark the team into life when he came on and for that I'm sure he will probably do better in the lower leagues. CCFC couldn't have offered him much of a deal if he is joining Oxford in preference. Whatever the reason for his departure I'm sure most CCFC fans will wish him the best of luck.

The comparison with Showers is a good one.

I doubt the deal offered by Cardiff was the main reason he left. The club seemed to genuinely want him to stay - so assume the offer was similar to Bagan and King in length. The reason Bulut gave was that Mark Harris wanted to play football, not sit on a subs bench or in the stands. At his age and stage of career, that sounds convincing to me. He was never going to be a regular starter for us - or for Blackburn - he probably will be for Oxford.

Imagine spending your whole life dedicating yourself to a sport you love, without actually getting to play that sport.

Those that are happy to sit on a subs bench must just see it as just a job
