Matthews also got the best out of Pyke after three clubs decided that he was too much trouble.
Pyke and White were not bad footballers though, I frown at Carlton fans talking down Robinson as a footballer because of some off-field misdemeanors that were over-played by the media. He is and was a good footballer, and someone we dearly miss around the contest. There is no universal rule that a goose cannot be a good footballer, and MM was a hypocrite to condemn Robinson while excusing Alan "The Pistol" Didak and Heath "The Driver" Shaw!
Should the level of on-field exploit be of any relevance in determining such an outcome? Isn't that a Trumpism if we accept that is the case, one rule applied differently for some!
I'm not sure being stared down by Leigh Matthews is the same as being stared down by Brendan Bolton, but then few if any would be the equal of Leigh Matthews! Matthews has the eye of a White-Pointer as is cruises past ever so unnervingly!
