A knee injury of the worst kind for Monty Fenton

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Auckland City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match28 Feb 2028

Auckland City are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 36 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Christian Gray: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Auckland City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Monty Fenton damages knee ligaments — 28 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 28 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Tempers go at Auckland City

David Yoo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Joel Anasmo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Joel Anasmo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match13 Nov 2027

Auckland City tear Waitakere United apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Waitakere United, and it could have been more.

Match13 Nov 2027

Nobody wants to play Auckland City right now

7 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Both of them Ian Trufanov's — 8.68

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.68, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

No sign of nerves from Appolinaire Bougma at 20 — 8.22

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Appolinaire Bougma did not need any: 8.22, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Tempers go at Auckland City

Joel Anasmo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces15 Nov 2027

The crowd has taken to Appolinaire Bougma

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match13 Nov 2027

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Auckland City. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Ninety minutes of David Yoo at his very best

Marked 8.41. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Auckland City.
