We were more attached to the club and the players back then regardless of our personal thoughts towards certain board members like Gordon McKeag and co.
Even the likes of Douglas Hall and Freddie Shepherd with their comments over the cheapness of making strips or calling the North East lasses, whatever controversy came out back in the day, our respect for players never wavered and many of us will have our favourites.
Since Ashley came in though, the attachment has gone and for me there's been no lasting memory of any one of our players we've had under him and you can include the likes of Jonas Guttierez who gets the cancer sympathy or any other decent player. It isn't really fair on the players like, although in truth there is nothing for people to attach to when we've been a public shop window for a stepping stone or conveyor belt as well as our players know it.
Hopefully we get new owners and future videos will come across as well as this one does now if we get players that want to play for us to achieve more than what our current lot stand for.
