I'm going to miss him big time. Only him and Richarlison have captured my heart since Baines, Cahill etc. Such a positive character full of heart and desire. The exact type of personality us fans crave.
It's a huge shame that he was injured so frequently, but you can't fault his attitude, leadership, and determination when on the pitch. His presence lifed the team. I truly believe that he would have become one of the best CBs in the league if he had more luck with his fitness record. But in any case he left a huge mark on this club (for me, at least) and had a significant say in retaining our Premier League status.
Also, that video of him chatting to the fans in the street when they were raging, saying that he'd give his life for the club. He didn't have to do that, he could have got off like 99% of players understandably would, but he didn't. And I believe he meant it, as he's shown in the run in. What a fking man. I am a little emotional, I must admit.
I love him so much. Good bye you world class wind up merchant, and best of luck xoxox
