I remember many years ago we had a player called Carl Valentine for some reason he spent time at Vancouver Whitecaps about 1978/9 I think. He was there when Alan Ball was playing for them. When he came back at the end of their season first match he was transformed, dare I say Grovesesque. Beating players down to the bye line and crossing or cutting in along the line. After about a month all that had gone, knocked out of him by the Oldham coaches. Back to stop at the penalty area play square or back.
I think he went back to the Whitecaps.
