We have some strong characters in this club. I read a story on either Taupau or Gavet where they worked in the sewers rather than join gangs in NZ because it was more honourable.
If we could only get rid of the toxicity in the club there is a great team in the waiting.

Unfortunately, we have to say it again, there's always next year 😢

That calls for a toast

Hopefully he stays sober and continues to improve, I reckon he's got quite a bit of potential yet to fulfill and I hope he has the fortitude to get there.

 

[TurnStyle]

congratulations and keep it up James. it takes fortitude and real strength to swim against the strong tide that is the drinking culture we live in - particularly when you are young like James and it seems everyone else in the world drinks.

Well done James.
Just for **today**.

 

[Geo]

Well done James…One day at a time

 

[happy_tiger]

To think he has been playing as well as he did with all this going on

The better he learns to manage his demons , the better he will be as a footballer

As Geo , said one day at a time mate

We are all 100% behind you and will support you through you battles

It speaks volumes for him as a man to face up to his addiction and beat it every day.All kudos to you

 

[Tigermama]

It takes great mental strength to beat the drink demon and Gavet seems to have it. Stay strong and focused James. With loved ones around to support you, you might stumble but you'll never fall.

When i read this quote, _"as soon as the alcohol hit my lips, I'd just go for gold,"_ I can't help but think of Old School.

I think we should cut this guy. Has a lot of impact but half the time its giving away a dud penalty.
