i`ll always regard him well for all those important goals he scored for us in a bad spell,scored an especially important late winner in an epic match at fulham,think we edged it 4-3

[Exiled in Toronto]

Very interesting perspective from an obviously smarter than the average footballer. His very different views of Hughes and Warnock were illuminating.

[Leonard Venkhater]

Well done. I really like your approach, where you just say enough to prompt him to talk. A real skill, imo...

Obviously, JS is a bright,reflective guy with a bit about him...

Really enjoyed listening to that, thanks. I had forgotten he was instrumental in that amazing Bradford FA Cup win at Chelsea. Has to be one of the biggest cup upsets ever under the circumstances.

Steadinho - rather him than Gallagher any day.

He became my favourite player for a while when he scored the only goal in a win against man utd in 2003 or 2004? Must have been about 12 at the time but just the sheer joy of beat Man utd who I loathed at the time.
