Pouton was a proper hero but 20 odd goals for Donovan it`s got to be him.

Pouton.

Donovan was fantastic in that one season and then never really rediscovered that form.  Was The Fishy even around in 1997/98?  

The following season I think he scored once and was miles away from repeating his goalscoring in the following seasons.  I can remember not feeling all that bothered that he had left when he did, feeling far more excited that we had signed Stuart Campbell permanently with the intention of him taking over that right wing slot.


Struggled with injuries after promotion I think didn't he, with one long spell out in particular. Kev must have got injured in pre season straight after promotion and missed most of the first season back up. I'm sure I remember first game back in the Championship at home to Ipswich and debutant Stacey Coldicott played right midfield (actually remember him wearing 7 too, so this must have been before squad numbers below the Prem).

After that niggling injuries and probably lost that little bit of a burst over 5 yards that he'd had previously. So never really showed the Championship what he was capable of with us I don't think.

Toe injury I think wasn't it? Fair shout on injuries having an impact.

Donovan.

Pouton, after Liam Hearn, perhaps the most overrated Town player in modern history.
