Craig Mackail-Smith - Top Bloke!

[Starleyyyy]

I'd just like to express some massive respect to CMS for yesterday. Borrowed someone else's ticket so I was in Row B WSL Block D, right by the dugout. After he'd had a kick about on the pitch at halftime, he wandered back to the bench and had a photo with some kid. Not wanting to miss my chance, I jogged over, but he mouthed 'later' and took his seat on the bench, followed by 45 minutes of we-all-know-what...

Final whistle goes, every single other person gets up from the bench and walks onto the pitch to see the team and stuff, he walks the other way, leans over and waves to me to go and have a picture. I'll admit I thought he would have forgotten or not have bothered. He's certainly got a big fan in me now, if only he can start putting it in the back of the net a bit more frequently haha! Top guy!!!

One of the few players that spends 2 minutes at the end of the game walking around clapping the fans; Top Man.

Him and Noone are really becoming the Mr Brighton and Hove Albions in the same ilk as Kupiers etc were. real top blokes.

 

[pauli cee]

met him a few times after matches, and have a few photo's with him, (poss stalker?), always the nicest bloke ever, and every photo he seems to have this really genuine smile. think i might be in love............

 

[BensGrandad]

This will not go down well with those who are suggesting he wants to leave.

10 years ago footballers were called top blokes only when you bumped into them in town and witnessed them down 10 pints. Sign o the times.

 

[Uwinsc]

He is nearly always last to leave the pitch as he makes sure he claps the whole ground

 

[NMH]

I watched the Posh match vs Sunderland, and he was interviewed.
He said he's looking forward to us playing his old club - he must want to make an impression

A shining example to professional footballers everywhere, well done that man.
