Hmm. Not sure about Fenwick, but the others were exceptional. I used to love watching that side.

If he’s good enough he is old enough !

I was one who didn't rate him when he was with us. I can remember one particular game when he was at left half and didn't seem to have a clue what he should be doing. Hardly touched the ball and was regularly by=passed by the opposition. I remember being in the Arthur that day. Can't remember who we were playing.

I stand to be corrected, but hasn't Gordon had some injury issues in recent years? I am a great believer that for a forward it is all about confidence, so maybe it's not the worst idea in the world to give the kid 5 or 10 minutes on Saturday.

With regard to the idea of academies, personally I think it goes beyond the success of the club but also relates to the success of the community. Growing up me and my mates always looked at that ambition of a scout picking us up. Some of them made it (albeit none of my mates progressed beyond the youth teams).

Parish is clearly targeting the local community for sourcing talent both for the youth teams and the first team which will surely be good for the local area as it gives something positive to aim for. That's what happens when you have a local lad as your chairman. We feel like a real family club at the moment and in the long run you can't help but feel that strong sense of identity will pay dividends. I

Adamorola played tonight against Hertha Berlin.

Played at Dulwich a 1-0 for us, 'Mola' the scorer.
