Paul Lambert has confirmed on www.avfc.co.uk that Stiliyan Petrov will remain as Club captain.
He says that his health is more important than anything and says it is just unbelievable as Petrov was always the fittest amongst them whilst they were in the same Celtic team.
‘He is a huge influence on this football club. I will go down and see him again, I text him and see how he’s feeling. This is an illness that affects thousands of people and it’s hard because of the relationship I had with him. I played with him when he was only 19 and he first came over to Scotland. I had eight or so years with him. That’s a long time to have someone as a team-mate. I just hope and I’m pretty sure he will beat that. At the time I was told, we were on our way to Fulham. I was just devastated. I couldn’t believe it.”
He has also said he will need to look for a team captain for the next season.
Who would you make our captain out of the current lot? Or would you wait for a new signing maybe?
Our new poll asks who you`d make team captain and I have to admit, I struggled to think who to put in, especially as a few of those I`d not be surprised to be sold this summer!
