Brendan Clarke

I suppose using any of the little one percenters that might give you an advantage over the opposition.

I'm not sure he was a qualified plumber to be leaving the cold showers on, but no, he was a fantastic, not even football related, just a fantastic human being.

He broke my heart, he broke everyone's hearts when he sadly passed.

But like I said, just as a group, we were just delighted to be able to

kind of get the job done and stay up because I know that would have been he would have hated that you know us being relegated and stuff so just to get that done as a group and obviously people go it's football people go different ways different directions but we were there for a short time and yeah look he obviously he definitely left a mark on many of us you're pushing into 40 now I'm past 40 past 40 nearly 600 games

The way management and stuff has gone now, there's a lot more trust in players to look after themselves just to be ready for a Friday night.

So you're not pushing your body to the extreme where in the past it would have been kind of do as I say.

There would have been no kind of communication and stuff.

Managers, especially with myself getting into my late 30s, have said, listen, if you feel like you need a day off, take it.

But I'm not one to be standing around watching training.

I can't.

Even games, I'm not involved.

I'm on edge.

I need to be involved.

If I can train, I love training.

I love being out on the pitch.

I love the Friday nights.

I love being under the lights.

You can't beat that feeling, coming in after a Friday night with a win.

I think as long as I have that within me and as long as the body allows me, which it is, age doesn't really matter.
