Very sad, his talent as a footballer was absolute. He could finish, pass, had enough pace (just) and was strong; and to use an old fashioned term he could dribble.
He so nearly joined us when he went to spurs, and could have also gone to Manure but turned his back for the London Lifestyle. Who knows if being under Kenny or Fergie would have saved him, but he would have certainly had a better career as well.
