Yes it's true and sometimes when players at the end of a long career go to another club, it just seems to be about a bit of superannuation or maybe a desperate grasp for glory. But in Pup's case, it does seem to have been largely altruistic, with perhaps just a touch of future career planning involved. But without a doubt, he gave far more to our club than he took away, and that's something we can be grateful for.I have endless respect for Shiels. He didn't have to come to North, but he did. His impact on this young group won't be forgotten. Shinboner!
