My impression was that everyone could see how skilled he was and became critical when he didnt glide pass three players and smash the ball in the net every time he had the ball. Totally unrealistic expectations.
I remember Ian Dowies reaction on Sky Sports when it came through we had signed...
Unfortunately, we never did get to see him week in, week out. All I can say is, his cameos were unforgettable, been watching the Albion over 50 years, no one else comes near him for raw ability.
