Not sure the spelling is right but just watched my Chrissie present of "Withdean Years" and he looked far better than I remembered. I thought he was rubbish but this DVD and subsequent career proves me wrong.... what were yot memories of him.

He scored a screamer on his debut and he played a big part in us getting promoted. Also, his pumped up interview straight after the play off final was quality! I think he didn't sign for the next season because we wouldn't pay for him to relocate from up North?

He was quality when we had him. We couldn't really afford 250k at the time though which is what he wanted as a signing on fee so was the right decision to get rid. Virgo was an adequate replacement at the time. It was the year after that we struggled after Virgo was sold and we couldn't find a decent enough replacement.

I heard a rumour that he demanded a house and car in return for signing a new contract, something we were not willing to provide him at the time. No idea if there's any truth in it or not. He certainly was a more than adequate target man for us, could really do with a player like him at the moment.

I think he asked for a re-location allowance as moving from North to South and was advised paid enough as it is so deal never happened.

I heard that he wanted a ginger cat, a yellow plasma tv, boots from sports direct and a trumpet, what do I know?

First time I saw him speak, never thought he would have had such a thick Scottish accent!

Think he also had an impressive miss when playing for scotland
