| I think most of the negative comments are that he was involved in the five drives and the aimless kick ploy which was seemingly the plan for quite a while.

my comments about Radford are based on seeing him stood behind the sticks, red faced and clueless too many times, whilst pretending to be a Captain.
The most notable thing he has done as an FC player occured in a pub in Beverley.

| If I were in charge, Radford would have gone a long time ago. He is Mr Nothingness. Never has someone with so little ability achieved so much in RL.
If he were to be awarded a testimonial, it would be a complete joke and I wouldn't contribute a penny in any way shape or form and I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only one. I don't particularly agree with testimonials generally but to award him one for returning here for five less than mediocre seasons after stiffing us for a few extra quid when he had the chance would be a pi$$ take.

| As for testimonials; I don't like the sense of entitlement, "I've played ten years therefore I should geta testimonial."
I think it's an anachronism; a relic of the days when guys played for some extra cash whilst holding down a day job; sometimes even costing themselves wages to play; the testimonial was a way of saying thanks and giving them a little nest egg as they embark on getting proper job. As full time pros I think there si no longer that need, unless to say thanks toa truly outstanding local player who has sweated blood for the cause over a number of years. And very few come into that bracket.

| I don't like the idea that a player can leave a club, give their best years to someone else, then return and be awarded a testimonial. Testimonials should be reserved only for players with 10 years of unbroken service, IMO.

Absolutely, it's meant to reward loyalty and effort.

Agreed. Devalues it otherwise.

Could not have put it better myself. If Radford gets a testimonial i wont be going to the events that is for sure. Horne got my support as he fully deserved it, and Yeamo although poor over the last few seasons (More down to supply than himself though) deserves a testimonial far more than Radford.

| Quote bringbackbuck="bringbackbuck"Going back to Radford; i think the season extension is a good idea, surely it will be on reduced terms reflecting his status as a bit part player now. I think when Lee plays prop he offers more than Dowes and Cusack for me. Is the annomosity from some FC fans based towards him based on him leaving for Bradford many years ago to better himself?'"
Hilarious! - He left as a hot prospect and came crawling back when he failed to live up to that early promise. I would have told him where to go. Not on one single occasion have I thought that his re-signing was a good move. Boy does this club need a coach and player enema!

He may have left as a hot prospect, but he came back a vastly improved and much decorated player, who had been a fixture in the engine room of one of the most successful sides of the time. Of course his signing was a good move, I don't feel that lee has ever let the club down on the pitch (or off it either, witness his community work) and it is he who has been let down by coaches who asked him to to jobs he just was not suited to, like being a ball playing loose forward when he was always a workhorse not a ball player.
