Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

RIP Seggy.
Once played the second half of a match with a broken leg, after the coach at half time told him to 'run it off'.
