What he’s really saying is he’d grown up by the time he got to Cardiff.
Dont think he is after sympathy.“I was more interested in hanging about with my mates than performing to the max...”
No sympathy from me.
When exactly was this spell? He was promising initially, but always inconsistent.There was a spell he was top drawer
Think it was his mullet years. Defenders couldnt get near him at home and in Europe.
He had the tools
I seem to recall that his finest hour was against Inter at Ibrox.There was a spell he was top drawer

Prior to his physical nadir at Pitawdry, there was always stories in the press that he couldn’t shake viruses that explained away his lack of conditioning. Walter must’ve reached the end of his rope with Burke and Adam.Shame, makes sense what he is saying. If hes not eating right and staying up till all hours then its no surprise he collapses at Pittordrie.
He was such a talented boy, what could have been .
If true, that doesn’t surprise me.A cousin of a mate swears he was on the piss with him the night before he fainted at Pittodrie
Pics or GTF!Chris Burke’s sister is a belter
Think it was round about 05/06 when we played Villareal he was flying. Opposition players couldnt get close to him.He went on to do pretty well in the English Championship, but that doesn’t really mean all that much. I don’t think we missed out on too much.
I could tell you of an acquaintance or two who shunned having a laugh with their mates and went on to make it and earn a comparative fortune. And one who definitely didn’t miss out in their formative years and despite all the talent in the world, slipped out the top flight and dropped down the leagues.He will not be the first to come out with that statement and will not be the last. When you are a young age your mates are all you care about and you want to live life to the full.
Being a professional footballer is a lot different to being a joiner or a plummer and you need to have a different mindset to get on and perform at the highest level physically and mentally.
Always remember pinning all my hopes on him vs Villarreal.
Hard to think Burke knocked back £11K a week to stay with us!
Aye? I always was under the impression that his family were Sellik minded.Commented not so long ago about Kilmarnock being his family and that all his family follow them.
Maybe it's just me. As much as, I might have a soft spot for the team I play for, your first love always remains.

I’m sure it was sunny Pittodrie where he fainted.Was it not Easter Road he collapsed? Namouchi replaced him for his debut?
Maybe Kaiser meant them as in ‘them’ not them as in Kilmarnock.They are
I seem to remember him putting in one of the worst cup final performances I’ve seen, was it perhaps the league cup final v scumdee Utd in 2008?
The old cliche, you only get out what you put in. Everyday life is full of guys who could have made it but either got distracted or did not have the sense to use their head or screw the nut as my old dad used to say.I could tell you of an acquaintance or two who shunned having a laugh with their mates and went on to make it and earn a comparative fortune.

I know mate. It’ll never change. I’m sure the culture isn’t unique to Scotland, but we seem to excel at it. That’s why the national team is in the state that it’s in.The old d cliche, you only get out what you out in. Everyday life is full of guys who could have made it but either got distracted or did not have the sense to use their head or screw the nut as my old dad used to say.
Pittodrie. 0-0 first game of 04/05 season. Happened right in front of me.Was it not Easter Road he collapsed? Namouchi replaced him for his debut?
