Alan Insua

Defence

He says.....

Alan retired before we could get a word.

The lads say.....

“Al ‘Slow Foot’ Insua, is the footballing equivalent of musical genius Eric ‘Slow Hand’ Clapton. With the pace of a crippled crab with a crutch, he strikes fear into the heart of all ‘Egg & Spoon Race’ competitors.

As solid at the back as he is tall (that’s quite solid) he appears to have an almost psychic link to Lil’ Luca and can be seen warning up before a game by performing a vulcan mind meld with his Italian compadre. A gifted player with a history of great performances can only grow (in talent, not height – he’d never get on the tube otherwise) as a fully fledged member of the Tilburg Massive.

Al knows that football is a simple game played at a simple pace – and that is 33 1/3rpm. As FCTR’s equal opportunity champion Al is equally happy allowing midgets shoulder barge him off the ball. Respect.”

We'd like to get a good pre-seson under our belt, but we've already ran out of notches...
