Regarding Alex alongside Sid or general "great player" label is not appropriate IMO. Yes he was ok but only a bit part player for us. He was mostly injured and when he did play was more style than substance. As far I know he was a frustrating player didn't deliver on expectation and probably wished he had stayed at Arsenal
Sorry aftab, but if that is as far as you know it's not very far. He was a fantastic player. The only reason we got him from Arsenal was because of a certain Liam Brady.He was many people's favourite in a team of special players.

He was with us at the time when Deehan, Gray and Sir Dennis were at their best so not a difficult scenario to perfoprm well. His best game I remember was against Liverpool but than they were all gems that day. I don't remember much else.
is there any long highlight video of Alex Cropley just to tell how good is he ?
