why be hypocritical and say now he's gone newton was an angel? he was a dirty player, as it appear Hock still is too. Shame as they both had/have great talent and didnt need that to be good players
I'm talking about the bit highlighted. Not in any way do I try and make out he was an angel, he clearly wasn't. I just found the bit highlighted unfair and disrespectful. Granted he was no saint on the pitch, but he didn't deserve what came of him.

I didn't see you kicking up a fuss when a fellow pie blamed Ian millward for Newtons suicide.
That post was quickly removed as you well know. So there was no point discussing it further as it was clearly wrong and rightfully removed.

I've played with and against Newton and even shared a room as a kid with him and he was nice guy off the field.
Well you should know better than anyone then that one's actions on the field shouldn't be all that they are judged on. Perhaps you should think about that before you comment further on Sam.
