Gillingham's first choice keeper, Glenn Morris, has beaten Andy Hessenthaler's club record for being the oldest player to play for the club. Morris will be 41 on 20th December and in five days time it will be 23 years since making his pro debut for Orient. Despite being born in Woolwich, he would have failed the infamous Charlton height test in barely making 6 feet tall. Morris has clearly matured with age, though, because in his previous stint at Gillingham, a decade ago, he was only selected to play in 9 League games in 2 years.
Morris will still have to play on for another year or so to beat Sam Bartram's record of reaching 42 before leaving us but it is a testament to him, in an era where every aspect of a player's game is analysed to the nth degree, that he is still demonstrating the skillsets that have enabled him to retain the number one jersey. So much so that he was voted Sky Bet League 2 Player of the Month for September.1 -
The England team that started the match against Greece had the most talented Flair players all assembled in a team together since ?
Unfortunately picking a team that can work on paper didn't work in reality when most of the side picked can't tackle out of possession and were far too flexible.
Declan Rice even missed his old water carrier mate Phillips !0 -

He is now 44 years old is closing in on Peter Shilton's all time football appearance record.Addick Addict said:Gillingham's first choice keeper, Glenn Morris, has beaten Andy Hessenthaler's club record for being the oldest player to play for the club.

Lord Pannick sounds like the Marvel Franchise really is scraping the bottom of the barrel.12

The Premiership need 14 clubs to vote together to effect rule changes.
Americans have control of nine Premiership clubs and nine Championship clubs. There is yet more American ownership in the lower leagues, including one sleeping giant in SE London.
Back to the rule of 14 ... Would it be in American interests to move matches to the States or maybe introduce a no relegation rule in line with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS?0 -
