I've nothing but positive memories of him from his defending and winning headers (wtf) in our box to those special goals (including the 4th in 2004 derby which won me a 350-1 bet).
There was a derby where the scum had 6 players booked if I remember and 4 or 5 of them were for fouling the little man. That was just the ones that couldn't be ignored. he was murdered for 90 minutes and still shone.
Wonderful servant, and what his current employers fans think is irrelevant.
For us the good news was that a player of his potential eventually couldn't get in the team (and was made to look "shite") and that is before we went stellar.
i remember that game against the scum like it was yesterday. Thats was an absolute disgrace, fletcher (i think) was the worst. absolutely smashing him whenever he had the ball. Just bounced of swp though.
