Snubbed again!

I am devastated to see that I have once again been passed over for the ECF Player of the Year Award. Last Saturday, it was the Birthday Honours List, and now this - how many more rejections can a man be expected to take?

Along with several friends, I really thought I was in with a chance this year. I fear my big mistake was getting Ernie "Good Moaning" Lazenby to nominate me - I gather someone called Dugbins got quite a few votes...

I did briefly contemplate following the example set by my Ancient Greek hero, but my local pharmacy was fresh out of hemlock. But then, as I languished in my personal emotional nadir, GM Nigel Davies offered me a consoling thought, which has restored a modicum of hope and faith in the future...

...There's always the ECF Website of the Year award!




Of course, if Steve Giddins had consulted me earlier, I would have ensured that he was snubbed by the ECF long before now. By the way, did I tell you I am currently on a cruise?"
