Playing in a fucking awful team too! JESUS AT THE CENTRE

Was gutted when he left as he'd been the first player who gave us something to cheer about in some years.

If injuries hadn't occurred I think he'd have made us more money than Bogle - anyone remember the Chelsea link? Ha!

He was strong for his size, he had enough pace to take him away from a defender, was able to create his own chances and was the only player I've ever had genuine confidence in when he was baring down 1 on 1 with the keeper. He scored loads of goals against all kinds of opposition until sides worked out that he was our only danger, as like Connell he played in a terrible team. If he'd kept himself fit he'd have been that striker to score loads of goals to get us promoted in the Newport play off season. I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

He had great ball control, good close skill, good movement, a powerful shot and was a decent finisher, but you never saw him running away from anybody except, perhaps, the very slowest of defenders. Along with his injuries, this relative lack of pace is what led to him playing for us because otherwise he'd have been playing at League One level or thereabouts.

He was by no means slow, but you never saw him run past defenders. Just a pity for us that he was always crocked after that first season, though I seem to recall that it was later revealed that he was angling for a move away before that?
