Never can get this 'servant' business though- he was paid as much as we could and buggered off when someone offered him more. Hardly the required behaviour of a servant. Its so true! The love in for ex employee's of the clubs always makes me cringe. Stead seemed alright, i didn't know the bloke personally and i doubt any on here did so where the 'he was a top bloke' comes from is a bit strange.. he might of been a right**** out of football, who knows? He put a shift in most games but like many in the modern games was payed a very very handsome sum each week for doing so. I might be cynical man but christ its the very least to expect from a person isn't it really when say 5,000£ a week take home after tax and ni is being offered to play a sport like..

BS4 on Tour...

The other went into a sulk, virtually went on strike, went from world beater to Park player (sometimes in the same game), angled for a move away to a ‘better’ team ( ) and never engaged with the fan base. All in all, not THAT surprising. Couple of stories and pics in the links below showing Luke Freeman engaging with fans....including singing Xmas carols! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/golf-day-proves-huge-charity-success/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yes @BS4 on Tour..., he was fully involved, and about as good with the actions to 12 days of Xmas as I am with Agadoo! Its too even to make negative comments like the ones above, when most don’t see anything that they do away from the pitch. The CHSW ‘thing’ seems to ingrained in their ethos these days....they seem to enjoy being there, even though it’s not easy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you are saying. Jon Stead though was an ambassador for our club and although earning a good wage also gave back his time, efforts and some cash to the local community reference this link from 5 years ago. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jon-stead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how Luke Freeman gets booed though when he made lots more appearances for us than Stead and won proper silverware for us....it’s a funny old world... When a player refuses to play it doesn’t go down well with supporters Luke let himself down big time for doing that with us and not exactly moved on to a better team has he. I certainly wouldn’t give him a clap as I would to Jon Stead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Posted about him scoring a really good goal in the last round too. Seems to enjoy scoring on FA cup runs, scoring in every round for Bradford in 2014-15 until they got to the quarter finals, including that famous victory over Chelski at Stamford Bridge, when he scored the opening goal with a cracker, then was really classy in setting up the 3rd & 4th goals. As others have said, top bloke, top professional & liked at every club he has played at, which is some going in itself! If we were specifically looking for an attacking coach, Wilbs & Stead would seem good future options as they certainly seem to have the right attitude to the game.

I’d guess you probably don’t, and then he apparently said this over the weekend.... http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/queens-park-rangers-winger-luke-1130677 All I know is, Luke Freeman was an integral part of a City side that won proper silverware for the first time in 60 years....and I will applaud every member of that squad whenever they come back...
