Simon
is nicknamed "The baby-faced globetrotter". His team-mates
wanted to suffix the baby-face bit with something a bit more appropriate
to his footballing skills, but as they battled bravely with a threadbare
squad during his absence, they just had to accept that his time
spent in Australia last season was a more significant factor in
the team's league position than his performances on the pitch. Simon
is a versatile player, comfortable either in the midfield or as
an energetic, and occasionally remarkably composed, right back.
He is the youngest member of the squad, and as such has the most
potential for improvement, which is just about the only way to account
for his continued presence in the squad. |
