8 years too late

[Albionmad]

I often wonder, well not that often, if he would have moved if another club had come in for him.
As far as I recall/know no club ever did which is why he stayed so long.
His lack of pace and tackling ability stops him short from being a great but his vision and passing was excellent. He also tended to drop his head when things weren't going right.
Most managers over the time selected him reguarly so he must've done more right than wrong.

I know that you're not one his die hard fans. So well done for a balanced post.

For me he wasn't the greatest Albion player. However for commitment, personal example, modesty, and occasional brilliance he will go down as a club legend.
He's shown incredible professionalism over the years sometimes in the face of the vilest abuse and constantly risen above it.

He obviously wants to carry on playing. Otherwise why would our club let him go? The experience, arm round the shoulder type (which I'm sure he would be) would be invaluable for our younger players
