Yes still have the CDs, was much appreciated.
On the depressing times, it has been a bit of a journey in the wrong direction, but lets hope with a bit of structure and forward thinking we can turn it around, interesting to look back and reflect that on this site is did say some of the decision's they made in the past would come back to haunt them, even with the good level of knowledge and experience I have, some people thought they knew better, its no consolation and wished I was wrong, but we are where we are and need to move on!
Best player at TUFC, good question, at the time I would say the team punched well above their weight, Cyril was the catalyst for this, as he pulled together a very different set of players and got the best out of them. One thing we had as a team, was belief, we went into every game believing we could win, in some strange way defeats made us stronger, we also had a great affinity with the supporters, I guess they noticed we had a never say die attitude, which is what most supporter expect from any team as a minimum. I would say Mark Loram was the most talented player, I played with during this time, although Lee Sharp was there, he fulfilled his potential after he left, Mark should have played at a higher level! Also would say I would go into the trenches with them all, I could not say that with all the teams I played for, Cyril demanded this and it was a great combination.
Would Paul Dobson and I have made a difference, Paul was top goal scorer that year, I cant actually remember what I scored, but as Paul said at the time, I got all the attention from the defenders, which he thought was great as they never bother with him lol.
Good bit of trivia someone told me, but you would need to check, that team had the best defensive record in Torquay's history with 41 goals against, that less than a goal a game!!!
