    Sad news.

    Speaking with a group of Dads of our young academy sides, (it was when the Luton manager Jones was coach of under 21's)
    the consenus was that the 3 best prospects were Nick Pope (who joined CAFC at about 16) Joe Gomez who was only 14 or 15 but already playing for U18 and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, who was impressing as a left back or left midfield.

    Joe and Nick are full England Internationals and unlucky Tareiq has to quit at 24.

    The fickled finger of football fate.
    And it's cases like this why I understood but didn’t agree with the actions of Taylor the selfish c**t

    You're a naughty man.
    So he’s not the messiah then?
    Who?

    Must be traumatic. Really balanced and honest statement; if that's a sign of his thoughtfulness and resilience then I've no doubt he will make the most out of his professional life.

    Thats a shame. Maybe he could come back home and get involved with the yoof, if that's the kind of thing he wants to do? Seems like a very grounded young fella. Good luck either way THD, I'm sure he'll be a success at whatever he wants to do next.

    Wonder if the club can find a role for him working with the academy? Thought he was going to make big strides in the game when he first broke through.

    A decent statement that, nice that he acknowledged Avory and Euell

    There does seem to have been an injury curse on a few of our recent and former LBs. Basey, Wiggins, Youga and Page all retiring early, or having massively blighted careers at Charlton, while THD picked up a career ending injury not long after leaving us
