    And that’s why his knees were ……ed ending his career prematurely perhaps?

    I thought it was his back that was the issue? I might be wrong.

    By the sound of it a combination of issues, maybe I’m mixing him up with Torpey?

    I think you might be right though.

    Ah, yeah, Steven Torpey.

    He's probably around a similar level with Hanson. Both big men that had massive limitations but both were decent at defending corners.

    Torpey played more games and scored more goals at a higher level than Hanson.

    I get why you prefer Hanson but facts back up that Torpey was the better player.

    Anyone can pick and choose stats to sort a narrative, I used the only fair way which is their whole career.

    Yeah it's quiet but much better than Bradford

    He's not "one of our own", he's a town fan we bought from a local non league side though.

    He so wasn't. He was a leeds fan but never ever on there books.

    His 'youth' career was pudsey juniors Holbeck and Farsley celtic.

    Stuart never played a single game at ant level for Keeds United.
