I expect he wasnt playing anyway....
Shit footballer, how he stayed here so long is anyones guess. So many different managers as well, he must be fucking awesome in training.
Worst town player to play over 100 games I think. I've said from the start he'll be non league by 23. We'll see next season.
Has a good golf handicap though (and only Mark H will get that I dont know if he even reads this site anymore?)

I was never much of a fan of his TBH and yes he was pretty crap but not the worst player to play 100+ games for us IMO by miles.
Mark Robinson
Matt Hewlett
Steve Cowe
Bobby Howe
Lee Collins
Daisy Duke
Leigh Barnard
Gary Emmanuel
All worse or on a par IMO.

Amazingly, Collins was with us for almost five years. He played 63 league games out of a possible 214  Was he on one sexy contract or did McMahon keep extending it? |

Collins was a bit like Pook, never did much, had trouble finding a red shirt, ran around like a headless chicken, but a good trainer (apparently).

the lad didn't quite progress to the level he would have hoped i expect.but he didn't deserve the stick he took.imagine getting booed by the people of your home town,for the club you've been at since primary school.hardly going to inspire you is it?he was always up against it.fans usually forgive players for their mistakes if they show effort.pook didn't get that from town fans.ifil gets cheered but has been a much bigger liability.
i dont believe lunnyboy about him pissing it up before games.he would have either not been in the squad,or it would have been a different day.
i am also convinced alot of people were jealous of him.and because he wasn't the superstar homegrown player,people become negative about the lads personality.he's a nice fella,and gave his all for the club.

I think Howe Cowe Robinson and Duke were considerably better than Pook-agree with the others though and you can add Adi Viveash to the list |

Did Adie really play 100 games....I was a bit of a fan of his. He started off a as a winger but ended up at centre half....he overcame a very serious broken leg and did well to play again.
He's an absolute legend at Walsall.

Viveash only played 81 games so no he cant be added to the list.
And I stand by my earlier judgement on Cowe, Howe, Duke and Robinson (the biggest waste of £750,000 in our history!)

Boring fact, I was the first person in Swindon to get Lee Collins signature - even before the club did.
I remember reading an article about Albion Rovers who at the time were propping up the Scottish league, and so were considered the worst team in Britain. The Guardian dispatched a journo, who in his piece mentioned that McMahon was there watching Lee Collins. He joined us shortly after. I was impressed at the time, thinking fair play for putting in the hours...and thought Collins might be a good signing. Wrong. The dream/nightmare midfield of Collins Leitch and Bullock, only ever played a handful of games together, because of injury or suspension. |

A bit of "muscle" would have been handy in this seasons squad though.
