Prospect Knights midfielder Mark Baker will run out this weekend for the Knights and play his 300th game for the club. I’m sure it will be far from his thoughts as he works to ensure Knights keep their Championship destiny in their own hands with a win over cross town rivals Riverside, but should Knights be in front at the final whistle, the celebrations will be that little bit more special.
It’s an achievement that will probably pass with little fuss as Mark tends to go about his business in a quiet manner, but it’s an achievement that deserves recognition none the less, 300 games at one club is s fine effort, perhaps Anton can share some stats and points of interest regarding Mark Bakers history at PKFC.
Congratulations to Mark, he serves our game outstandingly through his efforts at the Examiner not to mention what he offers to the sport as a player and leader and he deserves a little time in the spot light himself after his tireless efforts in promoting the game.
Lets be honest, where would the NPL be in terms of newspaper coverage without him.
Congrats Mark. A great contributor to our game on & off the park.

ReplyDeleteGreat achievement Mark. Your commitment in training and games is second to known. Have really enjoyed play along side you for the past 4 years and also battling against you prior to that. All I ask is please score just one more goal this year. I'll try and hold back a bit so you can shine on the weekend. LOL
