TASC_1878 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 “O Captain my captain” The only man to captain our club to 2 league titles. A wonderful player and wonderful guy. Thank you for everything Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Never a big fan of Whatley but he served the club well and lead us on the pitch to 2 titles. Being stripped of the captaincy was a kick in the nuts and early season injury hampered his chances of game time. All the best for the future. Why is it we always seem to be wanting our old players back. Hester has done great for Elgin but it's a massive difference between league 2 and championship. Shall we bring Doris back....again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll find out I suppose but I wish people would stop typing Whately. 7 years of it. WHATLEY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Mark Whatley has been a magnificent captain and I think the most successful for AFC in terms of league championships. A great ambassador for the Club. I hope the fans get the chance to thank him in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If we have learned anything about strikers in recent years, it’s that the veterans rarely get goals for us. Unless we’re looking at Cavani (I wish), then youngsters seem to be the answer even if they’re on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we bring Doris back....again?Nothing to do with Hester being an ex. He’s easily the top scorer in league 2 this year, he’s young and clearly improving. Good enough for the Championship? Who knows, but given our lack of strikers he’s maybe worth trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotesBornalichtie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just adding to the list of those sorry to see Mark Whatley leave the club. I actually think he was a better captain on the park than Tom O'Brien and thought he should have kept the captaincy after O'Brien arrived and settled in. Even when he wasn't on top form he gave 100% and was always gee-ing up the players around him. Can't say I'm surprised that Stewart Petrie would sign him, knowing him from his time at Gayfield. So I would like to thank Mark for his time at the club and wish him all the best for the future. But I don't think any other club colours will suit him as well as maroon. As captain of our 2 title winning teams surely a candidate for the Hall of Fame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sure about the stripped of captaincy thing, he was very good last season after he had lost the captaincy, no to Hester, but there is a guy who sits near my dad, who, if we were losing would shout comontofuckcampbellgethesteron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray signed and started the season on fire under Moore. Signed for United in January and I think he scored 2 goals for the rest of the campaign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as he’s back he’ll be back at it, he’s still a good age. It’s no like his legs are gone or anything. Not too sure, time will tell I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
