Gordon Simms

[Elder Van Van Looper]

I have never heard the name before, but the drop from Wolves to Hartlepool (on a free) to Irish Prem. probably gives us a good indication of how good he could be.. I Googled Finn Harps and couldn't find much on the chap. Wolves got him from Larne about 10 years ago, and at 6"3 shouldn't let much through at the back, Probably at a level he should do well at and I look forward to seeing him play.

Gordon presented the prizes at Fridays Under 14/15/16's Presentation Night which I thought was worth mentioning. He stepped in at the last moment for Ross Dyer who couldn't make it and I thought it was very generous of him to give up his time like that when he's only just joined us. It's a side that most supporters don't get to hear about.

Seems like a top bloke and went out of his way to comment on the quality of the squad.. "there are some cracking players here"... or something like that. He also seemed very impressed with the setup at Keys Park despite sporting a peach of a black eye from the last training session.

I think he will be an extremely good signing for us. He certainly seems to have all the right credentials. you don't play for your country at whatever level if your rubbish, best of luck to him:clap2:
