August 2004
Had asked for a transfer at the end of last season, but you
could hear the big man cheer for miles around when it was
announced that John Connolly was leaving the club! Immediately
withdrew the transfer request, and will stay to form the solid
defensive partnership with Brian Reid which got us out of
the smelly stuff at the beginning of last season.
My Opinion August 2002
The club captain faces a real battle
for his place this year, and starts with the disadvantage
of having missed most of pre season through injury. The big
center half is actually more skillful than he looks, although
sometimes not as skillful as he thinks, and he has a tendency
to try to do too much when a punt up the pitch would do. I'm
sure he'll be back in first team action before long.
My Opinion June 2001
Joins Des McKeown in the returning hero category as he rejoins
Queens from newly promoted Arbroath, and another one we always
new was a Queen's man at heart. I don't know if he saved it
for us, but he always looked good against us, although I remember
him being inconsistent during his first spell at Palmerston.
I also hope he has sorted out his disciplinary problems, cause
I'm sure John Connolly won't have much patience with him if
he hasn't. Still, along with the other new signings, our defense
is looking good for next season.
