ABSOLUTELY GUTTED !!!!
For me Phil is a LEGEND !!!!
He will go down as one of our very best servants in our modern era. Hardly missed a match in years, hard as nails, a real battler, a very clever defender and a no nonsense old fashioned penalty taker. Also a superb example to other players around him. One of his greatest assests is his vision and ability to read how opponents are shaping an attack. He moves into position long before others have sussed out the play. This skill to read the situation has enabled himto outplay virtually all opposing forwards most of whom "dwarf" him. I fully understand Phil going up a division and probably for much better pay.
I would like to pass on my thanks for his fantastic service to Stanley and wish him the best for the future, (except if he plays against us of course!)
