    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.

    Not for Bradford City he didn't stop moving the goal posts to suite you point.

    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.

    Macca was a Leeds fan as a kid. It matters not anyway.

    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.
