Potentially great UK teams that never made it (To the top).
- Thread starter M82Ball
- Start date
So when, where and for whom did you manage to hand out these beatings to us Mr Bolter?Originally posted by Bolter
I started playing pball at the time the Beastie Boys were considered a good team. All I saw was flashy new angels, and not much talent, cause we were beating them within a year of starting up.
No offence to the BB's. I was damn jelous of those gunsI had to go out and buy one.
Because if you are one of the Storm players that would have been playing for Full On at the time we were kicking the **** out of everyone, then I don't ever remember being beaten by you.
Not Once.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
i have seen better players not make it then Ross Gill and he was a good player, its like all sports people grow up and change. If you want to be the best you have to put paintball before everything else. People change sometimes they grow out of paintball, get a car, start drinking andwomanising.
The most talented kid i ever saw not to make was George Tailor he was as good as Weeman and Jarvis he had an ablility to do run thoughs clean taking out 4 or5 players and for a 13 year old against the only UK pro team at the time to be making finals thats pretty impressive.

It was Richard Pope who put me there during training one time but I got up, gritted me teeth (what was left of them) went back to it .. ... . and ya know what ?

He was a fantastic boxer that kid and I got no qualms whatsoever in admitting that he used to beat my ass.

Sure that island aint cuba and he's not sitting in some less than ideal barbed wire surroundings!!!
As I see it, any person who reckons he is a great player, or other people think he's a great player, if they don't go on to make it, then he wasn't a great player... end of.
A great player is made up of two main factors, talent and ambition, both reliant on each other to make it to the top.
There is not a team out there who would refuse a 'great player' under normal circumstances and if any of these so called great players didn't make it then it was for one of two reasons.
Either they weren't that great or they didn't want it enough.
Paintball evolution has the same dynamics at play as any other type and that is, the fittest and best rise to the top and if you don't rise to the top then you weren't what you maybe thought.
He's actually on mainland Spain enjoying the quiet life with his new wife and family.
One of the true gents in life, a stand up man who stuck by his word and his friends, definitely old school !
