Sums it upHe's been a terrific servant.
Not many players last 10 years at one premier league club anymore.
He's been showing signs of decline for 5 years now, but it accelerated for the last 2, unfortunately a few fans will forget the clean sheet record he very nearly broke and the excellent defence we had under his leadership from 2006-2009, alas the decision to drop him came 2 years too late, and ultimately part of the reason Martinez is under such (rightly so, btw) pressure.
Thanks for your contribution Tim. Have a good one in MLS.
