    Superb player was David.

    I actually met him when he was at his peak through a mutual mate. In a hundred years you would never have guessed he was a top player. Always a pity he never played for us!

    RIP David, and God Bless.

    Same age as couple lads i know, they say even as a kid he was unreal & you could just tell then he was destined to be a footballer. Like some have said shame we never picked him up, hopefully we dont miss the exeptional kids now

    Am mates with his nephew
