Think that might be overdoing it slightly.Gave everything for the club and probably never fully recovered from doing so. We wring every last juice from players, and they are suitably rewarded and have the medals and memories to show it, but at only 29 it is perhaps a move that is indicative of the future.
Gundo left us at 32 and looked fitter than when he came.
Fern was rivalling Methuselah when he left.
Walker is still looking sprightly.
I think some people are just luckier with genes and injuries than others. I suspect we look after the health of our players pretty well.
