A very eloquent and dignified statement from Cotts.I'm chuffed that his achievement with Rovers ranks highly in his list of treasured memories.I wish Cotts the very best of luck for the future, and thanks for providing some magic moments for me as a Donny fan.

There is almost no support in place for them and they're left to pretty much fall by the wayside. Rigo, there was another good article on BBC the other day about George Green who was tipped for big things at Everton, he now plays for Chester after some struggles the last few years.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45476430 I read that artical he said he will have blown half a million so far , something needs to done to help young kids from going from £500 a week to 10k and they should not feel embarrassed to say they need help

Being from Ireland and a young kid he was given a mountain of luxuries but no one there to help him understand what it was all about, what he was supposed to do, how he was meant to cope with it all. He openly admitted he wished someone like Sir Alex was at Sunderland when he made his big move to nurture him....if he had done that then no doubt he would have played in the PL for years to come. Sadly he met drink and that took over his life (along with a missus who played with his emotions) and sadly he spent the latter of his career playing in Wales and back home in Ireland.
