Do you recognise him? If you don’t know who he is, you’ve either been a fan for just the last four years, or you have cataracts.
He was signed relatively cheaply, was a former international, arrived with a lot of expectation, but found it hard to adapt to the pace of the English game and was largely disappointing.
Save this comment, revisit it in twelve months and hope it doesn’t apply to the both of them.
Sat next to him in the west stand hostility section just after he’d signed, I think. Thought he was a druggie in a baggy suit; I’ve never seen anyone so thin, I nearly offered him the crust off my pie. But, of course, I didn’t.
Talented lad though, just slower than a tax rebate.
He was very skilful, but always looked to me like he was a bit unsure as to what was actually going on.
I always imagined him communicating with Jewell by hidden mike: ‘You want me to run now, yes? Kick it where? To that man over there, okay? Hoopla, I think I’ve just scored. That is okay, no?’
Think his appearance in the final game at Highbury was worthy of note.
Come on as sub as Arsenal have a corner, trot into area, as corner comes over elbow opponent, Uriah Rennie sends him off. Classic! I think he lasted 16 seconds.

Well, let’s be fair – he did have a hard-man image to maintain
