The abiding memory I have of him was at home (can't remember who it was against, Portsmouth I think). He came on as a sub for Ritchie (so playing on the Right), and about 4/5 times in the space of ten minutes he got the ball, pushed on, beat the defender, got into the right position for a cross, with 5/6 bodies waiting for it, then, inexplicably, doubled back on himself towards, dribbled across the face of the box from the right wing all the way to the left, where he promptly lost the ball or made a poor pass.
Wasnt just that one game, that was his standard approach IF he kept the ball after sometimes trying to get past a defender.
Always cut back when crossing was a better option
PO semi away the rare occasion he didnt and he made a difference there
