I always thought Townsend was hugely underrated as well.

He was. But him, Richardson and I'd even say Savo were underappreciated because the players around were bloody good too.

Any one if those 3 had played for us in the last 10 years band they'd have been our best player by miles

Lansbury ... he's another one that I thought was a bad idea when he was signed and that I haven't changed my mind over.

Simply put I thought Whelan was a poor signing at the time and he's done nothing since he arrived to make me question that

No disrespect Paul but you do seem to have quite the knack for clairvoyance.
I married Clair Voyance so Paul ain’t touching her even if he has the knack.

they were and for some unknown reason I'd backed them at 11/1
that was the odds just to win not the 1-0 result

I said to my missus he looked like he was going to blart when Albert scored. Fair play to him for being there, and even bigger fair play to him for restoring the soul to my football club.

Absolutely. Looked understandably very emotional when we scored.
