From memory, Brockie was doing very well last season, but as pointed out above, he was being benched or omitted, hardly a good move by the manager to 'rest' a consistant goal scorer. I think something must have happened between Brockie and Van God that caused the latter to adopt his usual punishment of dropping/benching personalities he doesn't see eye to eye with.

I think Brockie was one of the first to be let go, and I don't recall any press about him asking too much money at the time. It looks to me as though he had a Whierman done on him.
