Loved this guy. Provided some unforgettable moments. The semi at Villa Park for example.
Blue through and through. Saw him being interviewed about his transfer from Tranmere; said he would have signed for us if the contract had meant he had to pay us every week instead of earning a wage.
 

Great player unbelievable in the oppositions box, only player to even come remotely close was Lescott. I was in The Winslow after the match a few years back and he was in there, I told my mate we should go over and have a chat with him. He didn't want to go at first because he said never meet your heroes they'll let you down. Anyway we went over and had a great chat with him and he told us he was jealous of us because he'd never been able to celebrate winning a league or European trophy as a fan rather than a player! When we finished I turned to my mate and he just looked at me and said what do I know, I was talking bollocks. Top player and a really great bloke.
