One of the best players we never had

Unfortunately, David Blackman who signed up for us at the end of the 2000/2001 season has had to leave us without ever having played an 11-a-side game. His sole appearance for us was in the Princes Risborough 6-a-side tournament in 2001 where he showed leadership and good footballing skills, which would have helped our defence enormously. Because of his involvement in many other sports, including rugby and judo, he has suffered from a knee injury and that has kept him out of all contact sports for the past season. His doctors have now allowed him to take up just one non-contact sport for the next year and he has chosen swimming. We are very sorry to lose him but appreciate that he must not indulge in anything that could cause permanent injury. Good luck for the future, David.
