I think that this is unfortunate when you put so much of you time into a tournament like this and then being so close, you are no longer there. Not sure whom made the call but you have to admit that's a bit of a waste.

I could never understand how Willy ever got a job with our international sides. His appointment was one of the worst I had seen at NZ level and thank god he has been shifted on. Having dealt with him at a coaching level and seen him working close hand I was amazed that someone with such an archaic approach was ever appointed.

He should never have had the job in the first place, thats the error.

Emblem is a far better coach, his sessions are light years ahead of Willy's.

Welcome, sir.

Methinks you are the legendary Alf Stamp, Scottish-born former All White and Hamilton and Eastern Suburbs national league player of the 1970's?

Someone who for me previously only existed in match reports and photos.

A legend!

Great days:

"Alf Stamp in action at Muir Park. A freakish, lanky Scottish-born dribble wizard winger and entertainer. Part footballer, part clown, amazing to watch.

Alf played three seasons in Scotland with Queen's Park and Partick Thistle before joining Caversham then Hamilton. His 6' 4'' frame and unorthodox style made him a great drawcard

Scored the first national league hat trick by a Hamilton/Waikato player, v his old club, Caversham, in 1977. And then did it again versus North Shore later that year.

Once, having been criticised for not scoring enough with his head despite his height, he dribbled through a defence at Muir Park, and then dived down into the mud to head the ball over the line.

Hamilton's player of the year in 1977 - pipping Keith Nelson.

Scored 12 goals in total for Hamilton in 1977 and 1978, before being sacked by 1978 coach Kevin Fallon - who was them himself sacked. Stamp went to Eastern Suburbs, where he scored a further national league hatrick."
