Hey fellow reds. Just sharing some good news. I mentioned a while back that my son was due for a trial with the Brisbane Roar here in Oz. He injured his knee early in the trials and had to pull out.
Almost a year later and after a stint with an a grade Brisbane side he's been invited to trial again after impressing for his club.
Not exactly English footy standards, but better than I ever did!

{Ed001's Note - good luck to him mate.}

Thanks Tris, keeping the Burke flame burning. My only other football connection is my cousin Mike Marsh, but not the same as your boy doing well. My vicarious life continues. I played Liverpool school boys for a couple of years, but was never going to make it, got to take what I can get when nearly 50.

{Ed001's Note - 50 is still young mate, Ed025 just celebrated reaching four figures a few days ago.}

Hahahaha. With C.V., I didn't get back home this year, but have promised the blue nose that we'll catch up in town for a pint next time I'm there. Would offer to do the same with you Tris, but not a fan of stop overs in either Dubai or Abu Dhabi truth be told 😁.

Jk23, attacking mid or wide forward. Does 100m in 11.4 so can move. Cracking left foot,
