Indeed. To carry that quote on - He coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what he is, let's face it.
Seems like such a waste. Good first start at West Brom, composed and assured in central midfield that night. Played the 90 minutes and never looked out of place, similar to Nathan Blake's debut at Bristol Rovers nearly 20 years earlier that got brought up on here recently. Still only 34, I wonder how he feels about it all now.
