Interesting stat. On the one hand, impressive. On the other hand... it is tier 9. Jamie Cureton still plays in tier 9, aged 47. Player/manager of Enfield FC, currently top of the Essex Senior League. Not sure if he's featuring at the moment though. Latest I can find here: offthepostdotblog.wordpress.com/2021/11/10/enfield-fc-jamie-cureton/Fun fact: "One of only 29 footballers in the world to have made over 1,000 competitive appearances". Probably a debatable 'fact'... |

None of you will be surprised to know that I’m not surprised at this! 😉
A very good player for many clubs over a long period of time. Having watched his AFCB career over two spells and his part in getting them to the PL I know that he’s very focussed on scoring goals. Fans moan at him for running like a chicken, being lazy and other faults but no one could complain about his ability to score goals when others couldn’t. And in 1 on 1s only Paul Randall was better than Brett P imo. Physically he was always going to struggle when we got him because his fitness wasn’t there but at Step 9 level he will out-think his opponents and ensure he’s in the right place at the right time to score.
And for BRFC I’d even say last season, no Brett P, no promotion. That cushioned header at Bradford City rescued a last minute point which, as we all know, was vital come that last match. No other player we had could have scored that goal. That goal was one of the best goals, imo, of last season and highly memorable.
Good luck to him, I think history will be kinder than some fans at some clubs.
UTG!

Funny how some people think that goal scorers should be fitter, better defenders,more involved in games etc when really all that matters is that they score goals which BP has always done. I recently watched a Youtube video of the highlights of the 1967 Man City v Spurs game and the commentator said that jimmy Greeves had not touched the ball yet,within 5 seconds he scored and people were moaning about his contribution to games back then...btw its worth watching that short video to see the state of the pitch (ice and snow) also Man City v West Ham 1970 (mud,thick mud !) Jimmy Greeves at it again...got to say I love watching 60s/70s matches and 70s heavyweight boxing. |

And this was when he was the division’s top scorer! |

I would not be unhappy to have him ion the subs bench, when we have had injuries to our strikers. Not like we have many |
