Don't know why I just did this but...

Did a search for all thing Farrington..esque and I came across this Dutch site. Our very own Mark Farrington made their top 54 ? (why 54 I have no Idea - maybe only 54 have played for them) at number 53. Now I am sure I don't know what the text says, apart from a bit about 4-1 against PSV and Runcorn (therefore by-passing his attempt to play for us), but surely 53rd best player, that scares me !!!

Just thank God we didn't sign number 54

My pidgin Dutch suggests that Fortuna Sittard were formed in 1954 - hence the use of a Top 54.

But a hat-trick against PSV Eindhoven and four in another match

This is the translation into English...

Mark of Farrington mark Farrington plays some years for Willem II
before he, after a trip in Genk, in 1989, at Fortuna ends up. He remains only one season in Sittard. He does in that season however such of itself speak that he
nevertheless obtains this top 54. Thus he scores in both derby's against Roda, he makes four goals in the last game of the season against Volendam
and is he with pure hattrick responsible for 4-1 the victory on PSV. He leaves Sittard after that season and moves to Hertha BSC where he
will not succeed. Pim Verbeek obtain him vervolgens to Rotterdam, but also at Feyenoord he can no pots break. Vervolgens breach it rapidly bergafwaarts with the briton who
concludes its career at the null and void Runcorn.

I must brush up on my Dutch

null and void Runcorn

Hertha BSC where he will not succeed - They know him well then !!

'Vervolgens breach' it rapidly 'bergafwaarts' with the briton ? Is this a disease, if so, maybe it explains a lot !

Try this:

"Mark Farrington played a few years for Willem II (Tilburg) before, following a short spell in Genk, he landed with Fortuna in 1989. He stayed just one season in Sittard. He did enough in that season to qualify himself for this top 54. He scored in both derbies against Roda (Roda JC Kerkrade), made four goals in the last match of the season against Volendam, and with a spot-on hat-trick was responsible for the 4-1 victory over PSV. He left after that season and moved to Hertha BSC, where he wasn’t successful. Pim Verbeek then took him to Rotterdam, but he also failed to shine with Feyenoord. From then on he went swiftly downhill, and the Brit ended his career at puny Runcorn."

I spent seven years working in Sittard. With or without Farrington, Fortuna were, are, and always will be, utter shite.

I think 'Puny' Runcorn is a bit harsh, but I still prefer Null and Void,

as in 'Null and Void' Croyden

[Ex-Staffs Gull]
