And I have no regrets about going to Aston Villa, it was the choice of God, that's it.
"I say in an interview that I didn't understand David O'Leary, why I don't play. When I came back he didn't like it. He say to me he didn't like it, I say to him this is what I think, so I didn't play again.
Seems like an okay bloke to me.

Fair enough. didn't think he was good enough anyway.

Seems a good bloke. Good attitude to life. Maybe lacking that arrogance and killer instinct to make it as a top player. The best players don't have a "oh well, whatever will be, will be" attitude when they're not playing. So it's little surprise he never found regularity at this level. There have probably been less talented players playing week in and week out in the Prem. He wasn't very good, but he wasn't terrible I suppose.

A few weeks before he joined I had a freebie to a League Cup semi - Chelsea v Manure. The quality of both teams was unbelievable, as good as anything I have ever seen live: with the exception of one player.....
When he signed for us a few weeks later I was hoping in vain that he had simply failed to shine in a game of top class players and that he could improve us. Hope is a killer.
