He was great wasn't he. As posted by some on the Gillingham thread, the best thing from the Priestfield era. I seem to recall that he was bought by the fans - the transfer fee paid by bucket donations or something. Is that right? Also, what happened to him?

His song with Santana was a classic.

I seem to recall we signed him from Chester at the time that the legendary Liza Costa and her junta had made an official complaint about him when we had previously played them. It was quickly dropped......

Didnt realize that he was bought by the fans with donations I thought that only happened in the case of Bert Murray.

£25k raised as far as I can remember. Didn't he play in a testimonial at Withdean? I think he is now a dj.

He was excellent under Horton - seriously good. But he was never going to be an Adams-type player.

He was great at getting in and out of the box, a real box to box player.
