Dude, at the end of the day 'the marker not maketh the man'
If I see you play and you are truly the bollox on the pitch, then I will acknowledge your talent and training. If you have a top of the range marker and play like a tool or don't respect the rules, you will get no respect from me.
Don't think that because you have X years of playing and this and that kit you must be good. It doesn't work like that. How do you play in a team? How's your communication on and off pitch?etc.etc.etc.
