And as an aside , my ex wife went to Ashleigh .. NOT a great recommendation Imre !!!!
I remember playing football at Hurlfield School in an U12 match. The pitch was on a right slope with a wind blowing from one end & we played downhill & led 2-1 at half time. Second half against the slope & wind, our keeper could hardly get goal kicks out of the penalty area so we were camped in our own box & ended up losing 6-2.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
