The Humble Realist Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 A lot of people forget the key role he played in keeping us up from league one in Johnsons first season and his important role last year in getting us promoted climaxing with the winning goal in that Rotherham match. A tireless midfielder, with an all round game. City only lost one match in which Russell started Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Saw him in the supermarket this afternoon, wish id said hello and thankyou now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I always think it's such a shame when players go like this that we can never say 'goodbye and thank you'. For example 2 players from Bath rugby were given a good send off yesterday as they were moving on, shame it doesn't happen that way in football. Even mid season a player can be here for a game and gone the next with no goodbyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Same here, thanks alot Russell. Alway thought he was underrated but did ever so well keeping the ball and dicating the play. Maybe a return to Torquay or Cheltenham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for playing a big part in getting us here, good luck. I'm sure he'll get a good contract, still a very fit and able player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thank you Alex - tremendous professional. Everyone down here in South Devon wants you back with the Gulls. Pity they didn't bounce back into the Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tireless midfielder, with an all round game. City only lost one match in which Russell started Good luck Great footballer with an eye for the game. With Alex and Noble in central midfield two seasons ago we played our most entertaining football for years. Moments of magic setting up Scott for the early winner against Millwall (h) and Noble for his second against Rotherham. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 yep he did well for us for a couple of years just think age is against him now still wish him all the best and big thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Was always going to be hard to get in the team this year IMO Very good League 1 player, wouldn't be suprised to see him at Herefod,Cheltenham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 IMO under used this season best all round midfielder we had Good luck alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aller g Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 could of at times seen him maybe getting a game this season... despite the age. had an eye for a pass, and created an awful lot of goals in our promotion season. Forget torquay, i can see league 1 player easy. pace wasnt his game, and as far as ive seen, still has his touch. good luck, you did it for us, and we'll forever be thankfull!

cidercity1987 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yep, I can only agree with what has been said. He barely ever put a foot wrong in the games he played for us, and thanks must go to him for the huge part he played in getting us promoted.

City Rocker Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 One of the most creative midfielders we've had at the club in the past ten years. Unlucky that he has had to compete this season for a place in the side with the likes of Elliott, Johnson & Carle. Aggy would probably walk into - and boss - most midfields in the football league. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 totally agree with all above, one of the best midfielders we have had in past 10 years and certainly underused in last year. Best of luck Alex and thanks for the the good football you gave us, always be a welcome for you at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristolCity1992 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yep thanks Aggy always a big fan of yours and you turned our season round when you came back from Injury. Scored a cracking goal V Forest as well hope to see you get a new club soon. Its not coincidence that he is highly regarded by Torquay and Brentford fans a true professional of the lower leagues and someone I feel could have played much higher 10 years ago.

THought he may have been kept on by the club in a non playing capacity. He has the temperment and experience to be a great development coach. Only guess he would prefer to continue playing and why not. Best wishes and many thanks. You made a difference here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No suprise that we hardly ever lost with you in our side, shame you didn't get more games. Good luck to you in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
