Oh yes he did! David James frightened him to death with his antics when we played against Portsmouth in a proper relegation six pointer. He sliced it so bad he almost knocked a cup of Bovril out of Mrs Jones' hand who was sat in Row 3 - seat 76 in the Cricket Field End.

I still have a lot of time for the lad though. OMG did he put a shift or two in when he was with us.

I loved watchiing him play and I always think of this poem which I have known for years because he really was like this:-


Thinking.
Thinking" is a poem written by Walter D. Wintle, a poet who lived in the late 19th and early 20th century. Little to nothing is known about any details of his life. "Thinking" is also known as "The Man Who Thinks He Can".
In the 20th century, different versions of the poem have been published. To this date, it is unknown which version correctly represents the original version, but it is strongly believed that the version below, published at least as early as 1905 ("Unity" College Magazine), embodies the original and unaltered poem. The exact date of the first, original publication of "Thinking" is unknown.

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost;
For out in this world we find
Success begins with a person's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!

Such a good way of thinking, believe in yourself, believe you can do it and do it.

Good luck Grezza, think you’ll need it!
That’s two ex clarets managing in Scottish Premiership with Micky Mellon at Dundee Utd
