Smith Leaves New Zealand


Charles Smith said farewell to Land Rovers, Wellington and New Zealand today when he went through with is long promised move to Perth in Western Australia. "Charlie has been one of the great characters of the game" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "he's certainly got the personality to go far and Perth certainly fits the bill for going far away". Hall said it would be very quiet now founding Rovers Charlie Smith and Chris Riddle had both left town. "You've got to wonder how a Pompey supporter and a scummer ever got together to form an indoor football club" said Hall "but these boys had that something special that you can't train into new recruits, in fact most coaches try to train it out of you". Hall said Smith and Riddle were part of the history of the Rovers club and people would still be talking about the both of them for a least a few days yet.
