Possibly a cup game?
Or have I dreamt that.

I thought I'd check it out Steve and was shocked by what I saw! Apparently between 2006 to June 2008 (moved to Arsenal) he started 14 League & Cup games for us and also made 8 sub appearances, with a grand total of 2 goals!.![]()

I thought it was around that amount. I had my season ticket back in those days as well, and can remember him coming through the ranks, and although he showed promise, I would have put money on him not reaching the heights that he has. He has turned out far better than I thought he would, although was difficult to judge him based on the handful of appearances he made for us. I would'nt have been going to many away games back then, so if he only played for us around 20 times, I guess only around 10 of those would have been at home. Could'nt understand the fans love of him the last time he played against us, he learnt his trade here, made a few appearances and left.

just goes to show how people's opinions can differ then. He had some very ordinary games mixed in with some good ones. He was also only on the bench for quite a few games. The one fact that even you can't argue with is that he played very few games for us, and this hero worship is normally reserved for long serving players like McNaughton, Andy Legg etc.

I think people are proud of the best ever player the club have produced what’s wrong with that?
Won’t be cheering him through the game but like the guy all the same
