Quite probably the least contraversial post in the history of NSC. He really does seem to be a genuinely nice bloke and hopefully he'll be tied to the club, in some way, for a long time yet.

And he almost signed for twatkins at stains before having an epiphany of his future with us. Club legend on and off the pitch.

Made his debut Wallsall away if I think, and I thought he was gash.
How wrong I was.

Ah yes. The Southampton saga. Remember the stick he got on here for that?

Wikipedia claim that he signed for the Albion on 7th January 2010. I think this must be right as he was a Poyet signing. Which means he has been with us for 5 years now. If he plays until he is 37/38 he would get a testimonial.
He has been excellent for us, both on and off the pitch.

For once, Wiki is right. It's five years ago when he signed.

Seeing the post about Agustien and this one, has there ever been two players for the Albion so far apart in attitude and work rate, Calde the legend, Agustien the b***end

That game at Walsall was bloody freezing and the pitch was dreadful, don't think they had played a home game for four weeks due to the snow.
Great debut and was glad I was there to see the start of a great career with us.

Just one of the reasons why he's a top bloke.

You do wonder if he looks at Southampton in the Prem with envious eyes, although knowing his positive mindset probably not. BHA legend. Do feel bad for him that he'll probably never play in the top flight now.

Bit harsh. It was in the snow and ice and the players could barely keep their feet!

He mentioned not long ago how he came over on the ferry to Portsmouth in the most awful rain and wind and wondered if he was crazy to swap Spain for this terrible weather. Lucky for us he didn't hightail it back home again

He looked at Gillingham first. How that didn't put him off England, I'll never know.

How he got to us in the first place is a story that legends are made of.

It honestly took me a while to trust him. I recall him hobbling around Withdean as i stood behind some double glazing advertising, to cheer their end of season-ry. At that moment the news came through that he was off to Southampton, and i wished him harm. That wish perhaps then came true i suppose, his enfeebled hip preventing his move. I felt horribly cheated upon that he dreamt of elsewhere so readily. Now, of course, he's a rightful legend. I won't, though, allow him to manage us until that underlip muffery is shaven clean off. Fine, remove it and have it framed on a facehair wall of legends perhaps with Stuart Storer's lucky bristler, but don't act like an authoritative figure with that cock-rocking flangery on your face.
