In Memory of The Jakswans GW6

Well that’s it for GW6 the time of death was called on Thursday and we’re off to a new Gameworld.

Great six months though with the runners up spot in the NFA Qualifiers to glory at youth level and a sustained top 4 spot in the NFA Premier League, eventually winning it.

The player I’ll remember is Sene I do recall at the height of Reading Town’s prowess at U21 level going 4-1 down and brought this young 16 year old on. He stole the show with the game ending 4-4.

The greatest honours we won at youth level were the two back to back UFFA Psycho Cup Wins. Sene on both occasions scored the winning goals the most dramatic the injury time blast in Season 5.

As a player he has NFA U17, U19, U21 league medals U21 Cup medals the UFFA wins and senior honors in NFA Premier League as a winner and runner up. 6ft 4in with pace to die for, great technical ability and high determination and work rate meant he’d run forever.

Prior the Gameworld going phut he was 21 (signed at 16) and had just started doing it at senior level.

That’s the player I’ll miss the most I can’t quite believe he’s gone. It’s a testament to the game that despite being just a bit of binary data you get a little twang and emotional about it.

Gah I didn’t even have chance to do a youtube vid of his goals.

Other players of note, Christian Montero another three star potential kid, great stats though and really did not like to lose. His hidden stats must have been the best.

Pablo the DM was little bit crazy but again liked to win!

Heffernan eventually went to £500k Aq Fee and managers said he was rubbish stats wise, and then cried as he started bagging a goal a game at U21 level. I shall not forget his winner against the mighty Northern Utd in the Champions league away from home.

Mungy Bungy, running out of contract locks I sold him to Pen Y Bont Raptors. Four seasons I had him and he came on a lot.

I suppose I should tip a nod at the more famous, Turan Arda, Jimmy Menez, Sergio Ramos, Kallstrom, Lucho Gonzalez. However it’s the kids that brought the greatest reward for me.

Great times hopefully we’ll have chance to do it all over again soon.
