Pretty sure he didnt get an Fa cup winners medal for us. He has had a great career Pompey didnt see him at his best but they did make a shitload of money after 1 year at Pompey.(24-03-2022, 01:26 PM)Wightblue Wrote: Has announced his retirement !
I know he is not universally popular on this Board but he was certainly effective for Pompey, well, 15 goals in 31 games suggests he was !
His support of Bradley Lowery and his family was laudable.
Bet Sunderland wish they had kept the money in their pocket now !
Yes, he scored goals for us, and yes he has done good things off the pitch elsewehere, but his attitiude to Pompey, and to football in general whilst he was here somehow embodies everything that was wrong with being in the Premiership.
And it's a disgrace that he later got a cup winners medal years after the event despite not playing one minute of our cup run because he was cup-tied. The fact that he even wanted one despite doing nothing to deserve it says a lot about his character too.
