Covs retiring?

Covs retiring?

My wife said she just heard on the radio that Covs is going to retire. Press conference tomorrow.

Can't find anything online though.

Hmmm...
I kind of saw this coming.

Matthew Hayden stole his thunder.

Well if It's true it will be the end of a pretty awesome career. Sure he hasn't delivered hugely for us but I bet he has been invaluable to the club, I wonder if he has been good for Smeltzys game in that having a proven goal scorer around with all that experience can't be all bad for the guy.
So big ups Vaughan, a NZ Football legend!

Great career for Covs, I read somewhere that he is rated New Zealands 2nd most successful footballer behind Rufer. At least this will open up a players spot for us on the bright side

Well done Vaughan, great career and best of luck for everything in the future.

come back to Wharfies Vaughan

Does that leave the Nix with no strikers for next season (atm)?

please... stop.. it hurts

No worries then. 

nothing has been announced officially

confirmation tony p.?
tvnz news has said he is expected to.

Just send covs a text cade.

Haha you think i stalk them and i straight dont,i only talk to siggy because his parents know myn and mannys mrs started talking to me(as did siggys)

better tell everyone else instead of me.

Perhaps Ricky will give him a last run on Sunday then. Hope so, it'd be great to give Covs a big send off (and I don't mend a la Hearfield!)

Retiring will soon be a new trend

Next in line oi oi??

Interesting that Smeltz will be at the press conference as well.
Support person?

"BRING ON PLODDER"

Hardly experience

During Covs media tirade earlier in the season, didn't he mention he'll be picked up by another club and wanted to continue given there'd be more teams and therefore more options open?
Me thinks the offers may not have come in as one thought they might......

Does anyone know where the press confference will be and if I need to get accreditation to get in as a writer for FFT?

Newtown Park, Midday tomorrow.
Not sure you'd need accreditation, but if they say no you may end up with all the stalkers off here showing up

NO LIES MATE!
i added a photo of me and manny on my facebook and mannys mrs added me blah blah blah

then i was talking to her after the newcastle game and as i went to walk away siggys mrs approached me! no sh*t and said how she'd seen me talking to ben about the blenhiem family thing blah blah blah


im not bullsh*ting at all

to be honest, its not sad to see him go... specially from a phoenix point of veiw. but he has been and incredible "servant" to nz football.

Have you seen the North Queensland squad ?

Brockie has moved back to being a wide midfielder rather than an out and out striker, he is injury prone, failed at Sydney, and has hardly lit up the NZFC.

I like him and hope he carries on his Olympic form for North Queensland once fit, but a good (and very short) Olympic campaign and scoring in the Central league don't outweigh the lack of displayed results at the next level up.

I think by the time two more teams are added the league will be watered down a tad, therefore Brockie might just cut it as a squad player in the 09/10 version.

I know Gold Coast are looking good squad wise but Steve Fitzsimmons and Zenon Caravella??
