Torquay United Fans Forum

I can confirm Kenny got a fantastic reception from everyone at full time. Truely has this club in his heart and I thank him for his many years of service at Torquay United. Best of luck in the future Kenny.

Totally agree, but I hope he did.

Did kenny get a good send off?

I'm really sorry to see that Kenny has decided to leave-he has been a loyal servant both as a very competent keeper and member of the coaching staff. Hopefully he will be able to recharge his batteries and, if he wants to do so, return to the game in another capacity. In the meantime, as Richinns has pointed out, we need a replacement goalkeeping coach as a matter of urgency, otherwise the development of these two young keepers is likely to stall. Certainly John Turner, if he could be persuaded to come in on a part time basis, would be a tremendous help but I understand that he is very busy with his day job.

get john turner in for a couple of mornings a week, lives local,and close to seale hayne. :bow:

With two young keepers on the books who are still learning their trade I do worry about who will develop them.

Just being honest that's all. He's a goalkeeping coach who err isn't very good at coaching goalkeepers. General dogsbody who cannot seem to get the simplest task right (like writing a number 7 on a piece of paper).
Would I rather have Herrera on the sidelines? - well just about yes.

Brucie! You seem to have been quiet this week (or did I miss your posts amongst all the fungus). I guess there hasn't been much to moan about on the football front!
As for this statement. One of our longest serving, most honouroble servants - deserves much better than this.

Glad he's gone. waste of space.

As already said by some on here, ken is not leaving because of anything that has gone on at the club, anyone who wants to pour more scorn on the club should stop now , its for other reasons other than football, End of!
Thanks for everything ken. :bow:

Good luck Kenny. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours and hope to see him in the stands at future home games.

My joint favorite "keeper" along with Big Nev. Voted for Kenny when he won P.O.T.Y. A few years later a lad I knew who knew Kenny introduced me to him, I was a bit pissed up and tried to talk about TUFC and when he played for us, " I voted for ya that year Ken" and slurring, grovelling rubbish along those lines. ( He wasnt the first or last player I had a few inebrieated words of wisdom with whilst out in the Torbay night scene.) Ken just smiled and was a dignified gent. I was thrilled when not long after he signed for his second spell with us. I keep my head down when I meet current or former players nowadays. :)

..Or because he has been with the club 28 years and wants a break like he has said himself, from his own mouth and not by any hearsay bs rumours you continue to spread, bore off. :)

Thank you Kenny, The hard work and dedication you have put into the club over the years has been fantastic. :bow:

You have Got to ask yourself why a man who has torquay united in his veins is prepared to walk away from the club to seek something else. Maybe he's seen enough to know that now is a good time to jump ship - we shall see.
