All credit to the little feller, I thought he looked good yesterday when he was given the through ball to run onto and he showed some good feet to go past his man on occasions.

Note to Dimi: Don't boom the high ball up to Foley, he's only 3'6"

I've always liked Foley and have always rated him, still do.
I cant understand those who have said in the past he would never make a professional footballer, too small.
For a start, how many people reach the age of 18, 19, 20 and then suddenly zoom up an extra foot?
And even if he doesnt? Played the right way as you say Kev, he will turn defenders inside out in this league, particularly at the moment as a sub in the last twenty minutes or so. Plus he can get stuck in, isnt soft, even if he is quite easy to knock off the ball. Remember Owen against the Argies? Scared the living daylights out of them by running fast as fook with the ball, knocked him off his feet in the penalty area.
A goal would do his confidence a good boost as well.

I like David Foley. He's defintley going to become a decent player.

However, he is an underdog cause of hig hieght. Needlessly to say, what he lacks in height he makes up with speed and heart.

By the way, Jermaine Easter was 19 years and 75 days when he made his debut for Pools. Despite having made his debut more than three years ago, Foley is still only exactly that age right now! I hope he is given more of a chance by the terraces.


And Jermaine Easter certainly didn't look as good as Foley is. So if Easter can improve into what he is today then I can imagine how good Foley will be. :grin:
