I & many others, in fact the overwhelming majority of people I know thought Monty was rubbish. Unfortunately apparently we all were wrong as we obviously didn't understand the role he was asked to play. We are obviously all thick & know little about football.

I don't claim an special knowledge Haich, or indeed any knowledge, but Monty was played to cover more ground than anyone else, and break up play, usually the oppositions, (...but often ours as well.). It was the Trevor Hockey role of get the ball, give it to someone who can play. You can think what you like of Monty, but the fact he was played every week for 10 years by several managers, and the same when he went to Oz, should tell you that there was more to him than being rubbish.

Give yourself a break mate, you and the others are not as bad as that.
