#9 John "JACK" Anthony

[Pie eyed]

As no-one else is doing Jack Anthony and given his great debut and excellent form, I will be doing his "Buddy" thread until his true benefactor steps forward.

The first post for Jack.

If I represented a company looking for a player to sponser, JA would be the one. He's creating his own myth, week by week. That passage of play where he smothers the ball with his head , is almost concussed, then, en route to the bench, casually takes a mark, lines up and gets a goal you couldn't invent that. It's too ridiculously cool to be credible.

And I love the way he's also trying so hard to be modest and contain his natural enthusiasm by not going totally ballistic when he scores. And Eddie, he's not up himslef, he's just creative, has good instincts about what constitutes a legend, and he has the talent to back up his efforts.

Go Jack - keep firing..........

Is he a Pink Floyd fan? Does he meddle in other's affairs? Or is it supposed to be mettle?

Haha...you got me....shit where's me acid?

I took over his thread recently and punched the report out in a hurry.
There are few more mistakes in there but I promise I'll check the next one better.

Jack had another fine night tonight.
Look out for the full report.

Another installment in Jacks burgeoning career.

I have something new and a bit different coming tomorrow...JA-Xtra.

JAJH, our fellow member and also none other than Jacks father has very unselfishly agreed to give us a small insight into Jack the person, still football related but with some background and outside of the gameday chit chat.
JAJH has decided he will no longer be posting in threads, for reasons he has explained elsewhere on these boards, but does still read the forums.

I would like to remind you that this is a chance that very few boards get.
We are lucky to have the parent of a player willing to give his time for our benefit. I expect there will be no trolling of these pieces, if there are more than one, and hope you will all treat the "Buddy Threads" as what they are.
If our board can handle this correctly it may lead to more avenues to correspond with the players and possibly even the club. It is in your interest to do the right thing here.

This is not the place for "your" opinion on Jacks persona, performance or family, you have plenty of outlets for that outside of this thread.

You can express any opinion of me or my posts you like, but you get what I am talking about....Confused? PM me before you post and I'll set you straight.

Thanks and here is this weeks report.

For some reason these have been "shrunk" by the forum...so you will have to save them and open in a decent picture viewer to read them...is'nt progress just so friggin handy....cheers

[Godfrey Jones]

[Skade]

Hey God, I think you mean John.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

haha my mistake

 

[Rohan Coventry]

Jack is just common nickname for Jack. I think its old fashioned

& Tony is just a common nickname for Anthony.

We could have Tony Rocca at CHF, Jack Tony at FF.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

haha love it

 

[Rohan Coventry]

Instead of the Twin Towers of Rocca/Anthony upforward, we could have the Twin Tony's Upforward.
