Fingers Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 It is with a heavy heart that i announce my retirement from competitive football at teh tender age of 51(nearly!!). I have played footy with some great footballers throughout my time in Cornish Football. I have also been lucky to play for some great and good managers/coaches/blokes who just do it because they love footy. To name but a few scallywags/characters/footballers. Mark Rapsey( I knew him when he was thinner you know), Ian McDonnell.Simon Fisher,Brian Fisher, Rodney Gregory(would run through a wall for you), Stu Williams, the late Ryan Thomas(lovely bloke too!!)Nigel Brabyn/Tony'tripwire' Penrose/Steve Rogers(lasted longer than him!!) etc etc. Some of the unlucky managers:- Dave Fisher/Phil Kellow/Gary Howell-Tony Gibbs and Ollie Harper(what a triumvirate that was- never dull!!) Andy/Gerry Keast/Paul Bellamy. Sadly the knees have gone and if I have missed anyone it proves the Brain has gone too!! Thank you to ALL I played with and against, it's been emotional Best wishes and keep playing until you can - long time retired Denis Fallowfield-Goalkeeper-Idiot- and a bloke who was never booked or sent off in the whole of my career( how the hell I got away with that I do not know!!

RAPPO Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Den, seeing as i got a couple days off and wont see you can I be the first to say i will miss you mate. Not just for being a great keeper but as a bloke as well. Hard to believe you're 51 the way you throw yourself around every week!! I will stick by my claim that you are the best 7 fingered 5 a side keeper in the world!!! At least you can swap those 50/50s for a bit easier ones on the dartboard now bud! Trust you to retire and take the limelight away from Fergie and Scholsey!!! I know you're serious this time and I can't talk you into one last season with me so all the best, great career, been a pleasure watching all them saves mate x Ps) Rach said she will still make you some buns bud. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never touched him ref!! Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's a sad sad day, always enjoyed our battles buddy, and I think rappos right, you are the best 7 fingered 5 a side keeper ever! Plus even at your age you pulled off the best save I've ever seen, by saving my free kick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggreengiant Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 All the best in your retirement Den. Enjoyed the competition for place between the sticks in our days of the vets at Hayle. At least when you were there I could get a game outfield. Take it easy. Paul Birch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
