He always seemed to be a bit on the heavy side to me and certainly not very quick. But he did have the knack of arriving at the right time during that purple patch, although he also had more than just that. I remember he could turn really well in the box and had a good ‘football brain’ to get the ball in tight areas and lay it off well. That’s what had me convinced he’d have a good career. There was one goal in particular that sticks in my mind he scored at the DE to win a game late on against stubborn opposition (possibly Wimbledon?) – which was a beauty from the left side of the area when he quickly turned, made a yard of space for himself and hit a hard low shot inside the right side-netting. It was a real quality strike. I can only think it is a confidence/ mental thing unless (or possibly aswell) he has carried a long term injury. Such a shame – I’d love to hear he is back playing, scoring and having a decent career.
