Couldn't say anything thats not been said, so thanks for your wonderful efforts over the past six years and good luck.

Going to miss the Colin Little chant as much as the sublime space making moves.

Like most I am more emotional than expected. In all my years watching Alty he is possibly my biggest hero, many memories of him turning 2 or 3 players with one turn or dummy. I have also adapted a movement from Col when I play and I know that sounds very childish but it bloody works, so I'll never forget him. He has all the great attributes to being a top class coach. Wlil be truly missed, one hell of a natural footballer. I hope he gets a run now towards the end of the season. It will be hard to say good bye to a player I love !!!! all the best !!!

I've done a little piece on my blog

http://www.colinharris.net/blogs/index.php/colin-little-altrincham-footballer-we-thank-you

I can only echo what has been said and that's two people we've lost to the premiership this season.  I don't think any other BSP club can say that :)

I've heard people talk of past greats, and wished I was alive to experience it. When Alty legends are the topic of talk in say, twenty years time, I'll finally be able to pass comment on one. Colin Little is a class act, and some of the things I've seen him do have only increased my love for the club. I wish him the very best of luck in his coaching job!

Leg-end to be sure.

The winner at Woking sticks with me as it was a true strikers piece of work, chasing the ball down and leaving the defenders for dead; finishing with style. It was also such a boost to get off to a winning start at a ground we haven't had too much luck on; look what Woking went on to do that season....

Col was also first in to the oppositions bar for a refreshment and a cheeky smile after a win. We'll also miss the stories of his late night jogs....

I was looking forward to Salisbury as my last game of the season but with nothing really riding on it I wasn't sure there'd be much atmosphere at the away end for a long mid-week trip but now hopefully the southern exiles will turn out in force to say goodbye to a true Alty legend.

Thanks for all you've done Colin and all the best in you're new role, so glad you can move on to something so exciting for you.

By the way Col, when you get to United have a word with that Rooney chap; tell him how to be a proper centre forward!

All the best Col you will be missed. A true gent in a time of greed amongst many footballers. A player for those of us too young to have seen Jackie Swindells scoring exploits to talk about with the same amount of respect and awe.

Agree with so much of what has already been said, so here's my 5 top Col moments:-

(5) His equaliser at Dag & Red in the 4-1 defeat towards the end of the 06-07 season - I think its on the DVD, a twist and a turn then a 25 yarder into the top corner - utter class.

(4) Again at D&R, the fourth in the rain soaked 4-2 win in 05-06 - Grimly hanging on to a 3-2 lead a cross skids into the 6 yd box, the keeper spills it on to a sniffing Little's knee and over the line it crawls - get in!

(3) Away at Alfreton in Conf North - Their chairman, Wayne Bradley, firmly put in his place by Col's opener, a deft volleyed flick into the opposite corner from a deep high cross, a finish belonging to a higher league at a much, much better place.

(2) In Alfreton's bar after that game - An apologetic Little bashfully removes his 'binman chic' woolie hat when he realises Mr Goodwin is not impressed with his post match attire.

(1) The permanent txt msg from Mad Frankie which always seemed to read "1-0 Little". 

All the best Col - a legend from Altrincham to Timperley  (and beyond).
