Thank you Eric, I have been trying to think of his name all night!

I was going to make a similar point about him but

a) I couldn't remember his name. Could I suppose have said that big bloke from Norwich

b) The last time I had the temerity to defend Gary Madine ( over his penalty miss against Wolves) I got pilloried ( unjustifiably) by both Bobby Dandruff and TOBW and I really couldn't be bothered again!

Holt's goalscoring record in the league is better than Madine's mind.
