Always struggled to understand why he was given 'hero' status. Played well 5 times a season and was a lazy so and so. I met him in Vienna and he was a right miserable tw@t and begrudgingly had a photo with us but didn't want to.

Admittedly the goals were in fits and starts but apart from the last few months, his contribution was significant.

Yeh, Sky Sports Twttier has just said Allardyce has confirmed he's in talks with him.
48 goals in 132 appearances.Our top goal scorer 3 years running and had a great rapier with us fans. Deserves abit of respect in my opinion!
