Great point Martin.
Footballers are like tennis players, golfers etc ( the other global sports). Outside the truly elite level the base of the pyramid is very deep and there's not a huge degree of difference in quality. Take tennis for instance, outside the men's top 50 there are guys ranked 600-700 who often beat top 100 players if given a Wildcard into an ATP event.
Below the premier divisions there isn't a huge difference between players. It doesn't surprise me that ACFC players could step into second tier professional leagues in Europe (outside the top 5 countries). Look at even the Scottish Prem league for instance.
So Hudson, Ernie and co shouldn't dismiss local players just because they aren't professionals.
saying that if you picked the side based upon recent performances (yes, I know there haven't been many), Stefan beats Moss every single time.
Yeh it's odd. Do you think that Williams is a substantially different keeper than he was when he was playing for City in the ASBP?
